After five draws in six games, the Colorado Rapids got a big win and three points against Austin FC on Wednesday night. The Burgundy Boys are still in third place in the Western Conference, but now sit just one point behind second-place Sporting Kansas City, with a healthy five-point lead (and game in hand) over fourth-place Portland Timbers.
Though Colorado dominated the first half, it took until the final moments of the first half to get a goal. Initially deemed an own-goal as it deflected off of Austin’s Nick Lima, Jonathan Lewis ultimately got credit for the strike.
