Colorado Rapids like winning 1-0 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. They have done it eight times this season in all competitions.
If they can add one more to that tally on Sunday against Seattle Sounders FC, then they will lift the Western Conference championship trophy and win the right to host MLS Cup on December 10.
The scenario is similar to the semifinal second leg two weeks ago when LA Galaxy arrived with a 1-0 victory from StubHub Center. Shkëlzen Gashi’s rocket-fuelled effort divided the team at 90 minutes and then 120 minutes.
