The Colorado Rapids dropped their second-straight match Wednesday night, this time falling 2-1 to Minnesota United FC.
The loss was unlucky as the 89th-minute cross that went off Rapids defender Lalas Abubakar’s head and into his own net to decide the match. Minnesota outshot Colorado and generated a lot of traffic, but the Rapids turned in a stronger performance than last Saturday, which was their first match after a month-long layoff due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
A step forward
After getting blown out 4-0 against Kansas City last weekend, the Rapids came out strong in Minnesota, generating a couple of good scoring chances early.
