A gritty, defensive performance on the road gives the Rapids all three points against the leaders of the Western Conference.
On a warm night in Dallas, the Rapids came to Texas amidst a six-game stetch with only one measly win in need of a turnaround. And the got it.
Both teams came in without several of their key players . Dallas kept key attackers Michael Barrios and Mauro Diaz ahead of their midweek US Open Cup final against the New England Revolution. Meanwhile, the Rapids were missing Shkelzen Gashi, Marco Pappa, Bobby Burling and Jermaine Jones to injury.
