The 4-1 embarrassment to open the Colorado Rapids’ season wasn’t a fluke after all.
Both the Rapids and Portland Timbers are different teams than that scoreline would suggest, with Colorado certainly much better than it was that day back in February. But somehow, a rematch to kick off Leagues Cup went worse for Chris Armas’ team, this time ending 4-0 in favor of the Timbers.Early missed chances come back to bite
Through 15 minutes, the Rapids were the better team. From then on, Portland found its stride and started to creep further and further into the Rapids’ half by way of big switches and long runs. In the 69th minute, Mason Toye was kept onside by Rosenberry’s left leg on a transition play. He found himself in acres of space behind the defense and sent a rocket past Steffen. Two minutes later, Santiago Moreno scored on a breakaway.
Armas said on Wednesday that the chance to play against a Mexican team will present a unique problem to solve in itself. “… Right now, it’s all about getting home and starting recovery tonight. We’re comfortable in our building and we’re looking forward to quickly getting right back out there.”Colorado wildfire updates: Stone Canyon fire near Lyons 20% containedMan on trial jumps to his death from Denver courthouse's upper floors and injures 2 others, officials say
