The regression to the mean couldn’t have been meaner.
After three straight wins in which the Colorado Rapids beat their opponents by a combined score of 9-1, a trip to LAFC was straight in the other direction.
Rapids coach Chris Armas might have put it best when he called LAFC’s defense “stingy” in and around their penalty box. The Rapids were only able to pick out a handful of good chances on the night despite their ability of late to be dangerous. “We love the challenge of the night. There’s a big winning culture in this building, they’re really hard to play against,” Armas said. “They’re stingy in and around goal and they defend the box really well with intensity.
“In this building, against that team, it’s never easy to respond. Which way do you go?” Armas said. “We’ve been in that spot many times this year, especially early on, where our team responds. We were organized, started to keep the ball more, we sustained attacks, we were counterpressing.”Cabral was put in the referee’s book early after a somewhat careless tackle on Ilie Sanchez in the third minute.
