Game Recap: Colorado Rapids 3, Houston Dynamo 1
The first half started out really slow. Basically, both teams were kicking the ball either over each other’s heads or leading their forwards just a little too much. It was a lot of throw-ins and goal kicks. Oh and this “yellow card”:
Cubo Torres quickly became enemy #1, with the crowd booing every time he touched the ball.
Houston Dynamo’s first chance was in the 9th minute. Mauro Manotas received a cross and was wide open so he dribbled in, but Tim Howard had a solid save with his foot. Houston tried to get a shot on the rebound, but Castillo blocked it out for an orange corner. The Dynamo kicked it way over everyone and to the other sideline and the Rapids went up the pitch with it.
