The Colorado Rapids kicked off the 2017 season with a home win against the New England Revolution, and while it’s just one game, I’m calling it a really good start.
Just three minutes in, Kevin Doyle put a great ball through the box that Marlon Hairston narrowly missed. Much like the preseason, we saw the Rapids push up on offense, and it was paying off - the Rapids were getting some good looks.
In the 13th minute, Axel Sjöberg made what I thought was a very smart foul. He was pushed up in New England’s half, and a Rev player had a very good chance of getting past him, which would have been real bad.
