COMMERCE CITY — With one game remaining the Rapids are still in the hunt for the MLS Supporters’ Shield that goes to the team with the best regular season record, and maybe their chances improved because of misfortune suffered by frontrunner FC Dallas on Sunday.
FCD’s talented playmaker Mauro Diaz was injured in a win against Seattle Sunday and is out for the season with an Achilles tendon injury, according to a Sports Illustrated report. For the Rapids to claim the Supporters’ Shield they need to beat Houston at home on Sunday and FC Dallas has to lose Sunday at Los Angeles.
