MLSSoccer.com - Hairston shines as Rapids attack shows improvement in win
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – After forging a defensive identity in 2016, the Colorado Rapids have changed focus this season in an attempt to become a better attacking team. Colorado looked the part on Saturday night, dispatching the visiting Houston Dynamo in a 3-1 win that included a second-half brace from Marlon Hairston.
It was a standout performance for Hairston, who returned to the comfort of the midfield after several stints at right back for Colorado this season.
“I’ve been playing fullback trying to help this team get results, but it’s great being higher up the field,” Hairston said. “Just being higher up the pitch again, it was a great decision.”
