Game Recap: Colorado Rapids 1, Houston Dynamo 0
The Colorado Rapids went back to a 4-2-3-1 and it looked lot like Pablo ball - long balls over the top, Dominique Badji getting stranded and not having any help, and then tightening up the defense to just get out of the half without giving up a goal.
The first 35 minutes were not much to write home about. Houston dominated possession but didn’t really do anything with it. The Rapids had a couple chances but didn’t really do anything with them. Colorado’s best chance was in the 40th minute when Mohammed Saeid earned a free kick that was the equivalent of a 20-yard corner kick. It bounced around in the box, and then it was kicked out of bounds.
