The Colorado Rapids’ losing streak extended to seven as they lost 2-1 to the visiting Vancouver Whitecaps on a rare Friday evening match. It was the second start for striker Yannick Boli, and the first time on the bench in a number of games for Nana Boateng, being replaced by Sam Nicholson on the wing. Plus, Johan Blomberg returned, and showed an interesting partnership between him and Nicholson.
Coach Anthony Hudson stayed with his tried but not-so-true 3-5-2. This strategy works if you have the players to make it happen.
