Wednesday will mark the Rapids’ second match of the year against Minnesota United FC. Back in July at the MLS is Back Tournament, Colorado earned a hard-fought 2-2 draw in the final matchup of group play.
Since then, MNUFC has had its ups and downs. Currently, they are in good form on a five-game unbeaten run.
The Loons have found most of their success on the defensive end, conceding just 23 goals, the third-fewest in the Western Conference. What’s most impressive is they’ve done this without 2019 Defender of the Year Ike Opara and 2019 Goalkeeper of the Year Vito Mannone.
