Colorado Rapids Hub
Colorado Rapids lost at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park for the first time in the new coach’s tenure on Saturday night, dropping a 1-0 result to MLS Western Conference dwellers St. Louis CITY. The win gave St. Louis its second win in 11 matches this season.
What happened?
The Rapids have dropped their last two matches and have gone scoreless in both. They haven’t won a league match in nearly a month — the April 11 bashing of the Houston Dynamo, which Colorado won, 6-2.
According to center back Lucas Herrington, the match’s lone goal in the 26th minute was the easiest the Rapids have given up this season.
Why it matters for Colorado Rapids
The bigger issue happened in the second half, particularly after the team went down to 10 men for the third time this season. Rob Holding received a straight red card in the 51st minute after pulling down Becher.
