Dallas came to Colorado in desperate need to get all three points in order to right the ship return to playoff position. Steve Cooke and his boys responded thusly:
Colorado played tough through the midfield and used speedy wide attacks from Dominique Badji and Joshua Gatt to hold down Oscar Pareja and his men.
And yet. In the end, a momentary lapse on a set piece would result in a Atiba Harris goal, and it cost the Rapids the full three points.
The Rapids got on the board early, scoring in the 16th minute.
