Like the rest of his teammates, Joey Calistri departed Dick’s Sporting Goods Park Saturday disappointed not to have secured a road result against one of Major League Soccer’s most impressive teams in 2016.
With the match entering its final stages and the host Rapids holding a 1-0 lead, Chicago orchestrated perhaps its most fluid offensive action of the match in the 81st minute. The sequence culminated with Rodrigo Ramos dropping his header onto the feet of Calistri, who calmly eluded 6-foot-7 defender Axel Sjoberg before slotting a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Zac MacMath.
"There was a really good ball played back post," Calistri said.
