COMMERCE CITY — With a deft touch of his right foot to control a pass by Marco Pappa, followed by another to flick it into the back of the net last Saturday, Luis Solignac helped lift the Rapids to their first winning record since July 2014.
Granted, it's early in the season for the Rapids (2-1-1), and they barely hung on for a frantic 1-0 win over Toronto FC despite playing all but 13 minutes of the game with a one-man advantage, but they needed that win and Solignac needed that goal.
The Rapids are likely to need more from him over the next few weeks too.
