#HOUvCOL Game Recap: Houston Dynamo , Colorado Rapids
Thomas B. Shea-USA TODAY Sports The Colorado Rapids headed to hot, humid south Texas a mere 72 hours after a midweek match against Minnesota United. The Rapids took a 2-0 lead, but couldn’t hold on, leaving Texas with a draw, 2-2.
In the seventh minute, Diego Rubio (COL), controlling a header that fell nicely to his feet, and put it away to give the Rapids an early 1-0 lead. Great start!
In the 21st minute, Rapids keeper Clint Irwin handles a Dynamo threat well.
The Dynamo were serious threats ever since the Rapids goal. Whether the Rapids took their foot off the gas, or whether the humidity kicked in, the result is a difficulty keeping possession.
