COMMERCE CITY — It was one for the die-hards on Friday night. A bruising game played in a rainstorm featured the last place Colorado Rapids stunning first-place Los Angeles Football Club 1-0.
The only pretty feature was a burgundy baked Colorado sunset which even that deteriorated into lightning which delayed the affair for an hour. The goal came on a Danny Wilson header that was sandwiched between halftime and the lengthy holdup.
The 15,968 fans that quickly diminished as the conditions did, were held breathless in the second half. Instead, the air was doused in raindrops that sloppied the track for the highly skilled LAFC.
