The Colorado Rapids did exactly what they needed to do against Los Angeles FC on Friday night. Their defense frustrated the potent attack of the Major League Soccer leaders and they took advantage of one of their lone opportunities to claim their fifth win of the season.
Danny Wilson’s goal in the 49th minute proved to be the difference as a lengthy break took place shortly after due to weather. The match was broken up by the hour break and LAFC came out of the dressing rooms the stronger of the two sides. However, they failed to make use of their dominant possession as they missed chance after chance.
