Colorado Rapids halt two-game losing streak with victory over Sporting KC

COMMERCE CITY — Rookie center back Kortne Ford scored the first goal of his MLS career and made some big plays defending in the penalty area Saturday night as the Rapids won the first of four consecutive home games, halting a two-game losing streak 1-0 over Sporting Kansas City.

In a matchup of teams at polar ends of the Western Conference standings — SKC in first place, Colorado in last — Ford tallied in the 12th minute with a header off a beautifully taken free kick by Shkelzen Gashi, the earliest goal of the season for the Rapids.
