MLS Team of the Week presented by Audi | Rubio, Abubakar & Namli | Week 11

The impressive weekend for the Colorado Rapids continues.

On Monday, MLS announced that three players from the Rapids have been named to the Team of the Week, presented by Audi, for week 11: Diego Rubio, Lalas Abubakar and Younes Namli.

Rubio solidified his spot in the week's best lineup in the very beginning of Saturday's matchup against Real Salt Lake. He scored two goals within the first 10 minutes, which was just the start of the team's momentum. His first goal is credited as the game-winner, as the team went on to win 5-0.

On Saturday, Abubakar anchored the defense that earned its first shutout in 2020.
