Before a near-capacity audience at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, Robin Fraser’s side mirrored a high-energy crowd and dominated the Los Angeles Galaxy throughout their 2-0 win. His Colorado Rapids team delivered both nose-to-nose intensity and consistency that most of this season has been lacking. The palatable victory for all brought back not to distant memories of the Rapids’ play in the final months of the 2021 season.
Earlier in the week, Fraser said he was hoping to catch the potent Galaxy team off guard. Whether he did or not, his team’s dogged performance plus a play-off-like atmosphere made the difference in the outcome.
