COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – Last season marked a historic campaign for the Colorado Rapids, but it also marked a career year for striker Dominique Badji, who posted career highs with six goals and four assists in 2016.
That same success carried over into Colorado’s home opener, with the 24-year-old striker marking the game’s lone tally in a 1-0 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday.
“It felt great,” Badji said of the goal, and the win. “The most important part was getting the win, but it’s always nice to score, get on the mark, and hopefully keep this momentum going.
