Colorado returned home Saturday night against Minnesota United and welcomed back their healthy Captain Jack Price for the first time since late June. Sam Nicholson also slotted back into the starting lineup in midfield, and with Lalas Abubakar rested for the match, Keegan Rosenberry and Lucas Estevez rounded out a back four on the night.
Minnesota had a perfect start as they earned a corner-kick in the 4th minute after Colorado Rapids defender Gustavo Vallecilla had a touch over the end line. The ball went through a crowded box to the far post where Abu Danladi was on the doorstep to poke it past William Yarbrough, and the visitors had a shock 1-0 lead.
