Well, this is awkward.
Days after new Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Marko Iliu0107 arrived in Denver, donned a New Day Kit with the number one, and met his teammates, the Serbian’s direct competitor stepped up and delivered one of the best shifts of his life.
Veteran shot-stopper William Yarbrough had to make 11 saves to hold a clean sheet against Sporting KC during the Rapids’ home opener on Saturday night, a result which landed the club their first point of the season.
It was a vintage showing from the Mexican-American, who delivered acrobatic save after acrobatic save in the second half—including one impressive dive that didn’t show up on the scoresheet because officials ultimately deemed the attempt offside.
