The Colorado Rapids got steamrolled 6-0 by Real Salt Lake on Saturday night and unfortunately, the score shows just how ugly the game was. It was the worst loss the Rapids had ever suffered at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, and it was almost inevitable considering they only got to play nine minutes of 11v11 and the whole second half was 9v11.
Since we hope the Rapids won’t be continuing to play games understaffed, it makes it a little hard to really look at this game from a tactical standpoint, but there were a few key moments that we can look at as things to pay attention to going forward.
