Ane here’s a recap anyway.
The first half started off pretty slow, but both sides had some good looks here and there. Portland got the first shot off early (6’) and then Dominique Badji got himself a yellow card in the 8th minute. The Colorado Rapids had some great chances, but they seemed to either go directly to the goalkeeper or were softened by Portland’s defense. Sebastien Le Toux got his head on a ball late in the first half, but it soared over.
Shkëlzen Gashi was pretty quiet, and didn’t have his best first half.
