A warm, breezy night welcomed Austin FC to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park for the battle on the 4th. The Colorado Rapids missed Captain Jack Price for the second match with a leg injury, however keeper William Yarbrough was cleared for his return to the pitch.
Colorado had a nice-looking buildup in the 8th minute as Diego Rubio crossed to Jonathan Lewis on the left. He left a ball for Lucas Estevez, but his attempted square ball into the penalty area for Gyassi Zardes was knocked away.
Lewis again had a good look at the Austin FC goal as he latched onto a loose ball in the middle of the 18yd box.
