Gallery of Honor inductee, Paul Bravo, arrived in Colorado at the start of 1997, having spent the inaugural season with San Jose Clash. His 'Best #RapidsMoment' came toward the end of that year, on Wednesday, October 15.
It was on this day that the Rapids defeated Dallas Burn 2-1 at home to win the Western Conference championship 3-1 on aggregate and progress to the MLS Cup.
Being able to raise the trophy in front of the home fans, and after a forgettable first season in MLS, made it all the more sweeter.
Dallas scored first in the return leg, to cancel out Sean Henderson's goal in Texas three days earlier, before David Patino and then Chris Henderson made sure of a showdown with DC United in the nation's capital.
