As the Colorado Rapids prepare for a first-ever visit to Minnesota United FC (Sunday, 4:00 p.m MT - Altitude), it is clear that much has altered in the five weeks since the frustrating 2-2 result at home on March 18.
For the Rapids, that tie provided them with - to date - their last point in MLS. They have since lost three in a row.
Minnesota, meanwhile, bagged their first-ever point in MLS with the draw in Colorado, and did so having been forced to play the final 20 minutes with 10 men.
Trades involving the two teams have taken Marc Burch and Sam Cronin to Minneapolis, with Joshua Gatt and Mohammed Saeid moving in the opposite direction.
