Cole Bassett came on as a second half, sparking the Colorado Rapids to an impressive 3-2 comeback win over Minnesota United on Saturday night. The win gives the suddenly solid Rapids a 2-1-1 (seven points) start to the season.

And for Bassett, it was a bold statement that the 19-year old midfielder deserves to be back in the Colorado Rapids Starting XI once again.

It was Bassett’s second straight match coming off the bench for the Colorado Rapids. But given his performance in getting the equalizer in the 71st minute, there could certainly be a pathway for the Rapids Homegrown to get back into the starting lineup.
