(Reuters) - The visiting Colorado Rapids moved into a three-way tie for top spot in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference after they twice battled back for a 2-2 draw with Didier Drogba's Montreal Impact on Saturday. Rapids (5-2-2) defender Bobby Burling scored in the 73rd minute from close range off a header from Axel Sjoberg to tie up the game for good and extend Colorado's unbeaten run to four games after three wins and a draw. Former Chelsea striker Drogba curved a free kick from outside the box in ninth minute to open the scoring, but Colorado's Shkelzen Gashi converted a cross from Mekeil Williams in the 47th minute.
