Even though this game recap comes to you quite late (my apologies), by now all Rapids supporters have let the hard facts settle in: FC Dallas 2, Colorado Rapids 1.
FC Dallas surprised many by having five homegrowns in the Starting XI and seven homegrowns in the eighteen. The average age of their midfield was 19.5 years old.
The Rapids were without forward Diego Rubio (off on international assignment to Chile) and Benny Feilhaber (out with influenza—as so many of us were, it seems). In their place? Andre Shinyashiki was paired up top with forward Kei Kamara, and midfielder Cole Bassett played midfield, moving Jack Price back to the six.
