The Colorado Rapids lost 2-1 at Los Angeles FC on Saturday night, the loss snapping a three-game winning streak. While the result was disappointing for the Rapids, it showed something very important about this emerging team.
The Rapids lost but they didn’t back down from one of the most talented teams in MLS.
It was far from an ideal start for the Colorado Rapids, on the road and down 2-0 within the first 20 minutes of the match. Goals by Diego Rossi in the 14th minute and the 33rd minute had the match in the balance of falling outside their grasp and getting out of control for the visitors.
