An end to the Colorado Rapids’ two-game clean sheet streak could hardly be taken as a surprise. But a brace from winger Calvin Harris, who hadn’t started a game in more than a month? That certainly wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card.Thanks to Harris’ heroics, two late goals from midfielder Djordje Mihailovic and forward Rafael Navarro weren’t needed but welcome in a 4-1 win over CF Montréal that rounded out a nine-point week.
First was a header in the 28th minute off a set piece which Harris earned from a foul on Raheem Edwards. Mihailovic put in a good outswinging ball and Harris got his head to it initially. Montréal keeper Jonathan Sirois got his hands on it, but on the follow, Harris put it back in with ease from point blank range.
Off the ensuing kickoff, the Rapids earned possession and immediately pressed the issue again. With the ball on the right outside edge of the penalty box, Mihailovic found midfielder Cole Bassett at the top of the box, who found Navarro just inside the left side. On the first touch, he drilled it to the opposite corner to extend the lead to four.
Armas and back line teammates Andreas Maxsø and Sam Vines have praised the Ghanaian for his work in Moïse Bombito’s Copa America absence, but Abubakar has had a couple of unfortunate moments in the past week. That included a handball penalty against St. Louis last Wednesday.
