MINNEAPOLIS — Yannick Boli and Niki Jackson scored second-half goals and the Colorado Rapids beat Minnesota United 2-0 on Saturday to snap a seven-game losing streak.
Colorado (7-19-6) entered a loss shy of tying a club record for consecutive losses — set this season. Minnesota (11-18-3) was eliminated from playoff contention last week after losing to Philadelphia.
Boli opened the scoring in the 61st minute by heading Marlon Hairston’s curling cross into the upper corner of the goal. It was Boli’s second goal of the season.
Jackson capped it in stoppage time by intercepting a back-pass and chipping it over goalkeeper Matthew Lampson, who had come out of his area.
