Anatomy of a Goal - Elis Finishes off the Rapids

After a 4-1 win on the road in Colorado, the Dynamo are off to their best start in MLS history with 3 wins and a draw from their first 4 games. A huge part of their success has been their ability to create space and lanes for their dangerous attackers to exploit. In this “Anatomy of a Goal” I’ll take a look at Alberth Elis’ goal, the Dynamo’s fourth of the night, that killed off the Rapids and was a great example of the offense doing what they do best.

The move started with Tomas Martinez on the ball near the touchline, seemingly in trouble.
