No element of surprise as Colorado Rapids have LA Galaxy’s number

I’ll be honest, coming into Tuesday’s game between the LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids, I forgot the x-factor that may have turned the tide in the game.

The two head coaches of the clubs know each other inside and out.

Galaxy boss Greg Vanney was asked about his relationship with Rapids manager Robin Fraser ahead of the game, and it’s not an insignificant factor, as the Rapids ultimately beat the Galaxy 2-1 at Dignity Health Sports Park.

On one hand, the Rapids’ victory was powered by set pieces, a first-half penalty kick and a second-half corner kick, something that’s been their calling card for years.
