The Colorado Rapids started with the same lineup and formation as Saturday, and it was really exciting to see that Axel Sjoberg was on the bench. Perhaps we’ll see him start on Saturday?
Almost as soon as the game kicked off, Tim Howard misplayed the ball but luckily recovered it. The Rapids then gave Chicago two corner kicks in a row in the 5th and 6th minute. Colorado was kind of just sitting back and letting Chicago pass the ball around. The Fire was very patient, and their efforts paid off in the 15th minute.
