A late equalizer forced Colorado Rapids to settle for a 1-1 draw at D.C. United on Sunday.
After soaking up pressure in the first half, the visitors took the lead in the 69th minute when Dillon Powers bundled home a corner from Marco Pappa.
Rapids had chances to extend their lead but, late on, D.C. United went in search of the leveler. They found it in the 80th minute when Fabián Espíndola fired home through a crowded area.
The result leaves Pablo Mastroeni’s side 1-1-1 in the nascent season. This might have been a full three points but getting one on the road is nearly always creditable.
