A pair of goals inside ten minutes gave FC Dallas a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids Soccer Club on Wednesday night in Frisco, Texas. With the loss, the Rapids are mathematically eliminated from the 2017 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.
Former Rapids defender Maynor Figueroa would get his name on the board first following a defensive lapse by Colorado’s backline. A quick restart on the attacking end by Mauro Diaz caught the Rapids by surprise and Figueroa tapped in his third of the season from inside the six-yard box.
Four minutes later, Roland Lamah would double the home side’s lead after yet another smart play by Mauro Diaz.
