Game Recap: I’ll see your 8 and make it 9
Given the Colorado Rapids’ recent run of form, number of games in the last week, and being on the road, I was afraid things might not go well tonight. But at the very least, I was hoping it wouldn’t be a complete train wreck.
Anthony Hudson starting with a 5-4-1 and the Rapids had to fight off a fairly consistent attack. Ten minutes into the game, Houston had 84% possession and they didn’t let up until Tomás Martínez put in their first goal in the 31st minute. A few minutes later, Danny Wilson had an errant pass that went right to Houston. The ball got to DaMarcus Beasley, who was fouled in the box by Johan Blomberg. Mauro Manotas took the PK and easily scored.
