With the season on the line, the Colorado Rapids (12-15-6, 9th in MLS Western Conference) were decisive in a 3-0 victory last Sunday when they topped FC Dallas. Not only did the win keep the Rapids’ playoff hopes alive heading into the final week of the regular season, it put a damper on Dallas’ hopes as well.

So how can the Rapids clinch that coveted playoff spot?
