Though it feels like a lifetime ago given the momentous Arsenal affair that followed it, it has only been a week since the Rapids went to Portland and came away with a 2-2 draw. That game highlighted some of the prodigious talents on this Colorado roster that the club will lean on for the rest of 2019. Look no further than Sam Nicholson’s brilliant solo goal in the 76th minute.
Of the stunning shot, Nicholson told the Denver Post “Yeah, I’ve been practicing that in training a lot and normally I sail it over the bar,” he said.
