A second-half hat-trick from Kevin Doyle saw Colorado Rapids cruise past Seongnam FC 4-2 in their opening preseason scrimmage of 2016 at the Olympic Training Center at Chula Vista in California.
The South Korean side, who finished fifth in the highly-respected K-League last season, took the lead in the opening stages by bundling home from a corner.
However, Rapids were level midway through the half when trialist Yann Ekra blasted a drive into the top corner of the net from distance.
The goal helped Pablo Mastroeni’s men take control, and Jared Watts nearly put them ahead just before half-time.
