After a disappointing MLS is Back Tournament, hopes were high for the Colorado Rapids’ return to the regular season. It was a rivalry game at home against Real Salt Lake, and despite fans not being able to attend, the energy was pretty good on social media.
The first half was decent. Both teams came out hot and the Rapids went into halftime up 1-0. Sure, it was an own goal, but the build-up (Younes Namli’s pass that Jonathan Lewis let go to Diego Rubio) was nice and a goal is a goal.
