Match Report: Dempsey's brace the difference as Rapids fall 3-1 to Sounders FC

Rapids striker Dominique Badji scored his fifth goal of the season on Tuesday night, but it wasn’t enough as the Colorado Rapids fell to the Seattle Sounders FC, 3-1, in front of a packed house at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

Fielding the same starting eleven that defeated the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night, the Rapids were unable to muster the same well-rounded performance, conceding an early sixth-minute goal to Sounders striker Clint Dempsey.

The visitors would double their lead 24 minutes later when Will Bruin collected from Dempsey and instinctively slotted his effort past Rapids captain Tim Howard.
