FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) _ Diego Serna and Roy Lassiter scored goals six minutes apart in the first half to lead the Miami Fusion to a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.

Miami goalkeeper Nick Rimando, a 20-year-old rookie, had five saves for his second shutout in three starts.

The Fusion (4-3-4) improved to 3-0 under interim head coach Ray Hudson, who took over May 8, and remained atop the Eastern Division. Colorado dropped to 5-7.

The Rapids' best scoring threat of the second half was Henry Zambrano's shot that a diving Rimando stopped in the 69th minute.

Serna gave the Fusion a 1-0 lead in the 19th minute with his third goal of the season. After receiving a long pass from Martin Machon on the right wing, Serna dribbled inside the penalty box and drilled an 18-yard shot past Colorado goalkeeper Adin Brown.

Lassiter scored his third goal with a 6-yard shot in the 25th minute.
