TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Paul Bravo scored two goals in the first 20 minutes to lead the Colorado Rapids to a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Mutiny on Saturday night.

Tampa Bay (3-16-1) lost its sixth straight match and dropped to 1-8-1 at home.

Bravo opened the scoring in the 11th minute, beating former teammate Adin Brown on a breakaway. The goal was the first in three games for Colorado (5-9-6).

Bravo gave the Rapids a two-goal lead nine minutes later, converting a rebound off the left post. With the goal, Bravo became the ninth MLS player to score 50 goals.
