COMMERCE CITY, Colo.—Jack Price scored his first career MLS goal in the second minute, Shkelzen Gashi added a penalty kick late in the second half, and the Colorado Rapids beat defending champion Toronto FC 2-0 on Saturday.
Price gave the Rapids the lead about 80 seconds into the match, intercepting Drew Moor's attempted clearance just outside the penalty arc and sending back a knuckling right-footed shot that beat goalkeeper Clint Irwin. Dominique Badji drew a penalty against Liam Fraser in the 77th minute and Gashi converted it a minute later to make it 2-0.
Toronto FC wasn’t playing at full strength, holding out several starters in advance of the upcoming first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final.
