The Colorado Rapids found their offense in a variety of ways Sunday night in their regular-season finale at home. Fantastic strikes, solid well-timed pressure, and a hard-working night defending their third saw Colorado take down the visiting Seattle Sounders and keep an eye on the playoffs.
Nicolas Benezet made his long-awaited first regular-season start, joining Auston Trusty as the two changes to the Rapids lineup from the match in Minnesota.
Seattle had a good look inside the Colorado 18-yard box right away, but with the ball in front of goal, Raul Ruidiaz missed contact in the 5th minute.
