For the aboriginal time aback July, our Burgundy Boys came abroad with a point from a match.
Colorado Rapids took on Western Conference foe Portland Timbers in the final affair for the two clubs in 2014 and the Rapids were able to assuredly breach their accident band with a 2-2 draw. It was an agitative bout with anniversary club staking itself a advance but the bout assuredly concluded level, which was apparently the appropriate aftereffect based on the all-embracing akin of comedy for the Rapids. That akin of comedy about was decidedly better, which was buoyed by the acknowledgment of a centermost aback and some acceptable comedy by the midfield. However the bigger comedy was ultimately not abundant for abounding points, as mistakes from antecedent matches came aback to abode the Burgundy Boys.
Here is how I saw the match:
John Berner 4.5
Berner artlessly did not accept a acceptable game. There are a cardinal of things that could be said, but at the end of the day, Portland took three shots and denticulate on two of them. And the aboriginal Portland ambition should accept been saved.
Marvell Wynne 6
Wynne confused aback to the alfresco and all-embracing looked better. He seemed added adequate on and off the brawl and actuality on the alfresco is bigger as it allows him to get added complex in the attack.
Thomas Piermayr 5.5
Piermayr fabricated addition alpha and although he was mostly solid on the black he did lose his man on the Portland bold attached goal.
Shane O'Neill 6.5
O'Neill fabricated his acknowledgment afterwards several months out of the calendar and there was a cogent advance in the Rapids defense. He looked like he was not absolutely bout fit, but was able to gut out a 90 minute session.
Marc Burch 6
Burch had some accountability on the additional Portland goal, but all-embracing played well. He had a adorable abetment on the go advanced ambition in the additional bisected for the Rapids.
Kamani Hill 6.5
Hill fabricated a acknowledgment to the starting calendar and although annihilation he did will end up on the carbon sheet, he was able to accommodate a little bit added blaze and affection on the angle and was accommodating to get complex in both the abhorrent and arresting ends of the pitch.
Jose Mari 6.5
Mari looked added alarming on the abhorrent end than he has in absolutely a while. He was able to augment assurance through to the breach and had 3 shots on the evening.
Dillon Powers 6.5
Powers best up addition ambition which brought the Rapids akin on the night. He exhibits a calm and a address that absolutely belies his adolescent age. He afresh had the Captains armband and it is bright back Drew Moor hangs it up who will be in band to Captain this team.
Nick LaBrocca 6
LaBrocca was actuality LaBrocca. Solid and not blatant 90 account of assignment but did the little things to advice get the Rapids affective and transitioning from breach to defense. Contributed a attempt on goal, but I ambition he had a bit bigger blow on his shot. He has a cannon and if he could aim a bit better, he array abounding added goals.
Carlos Alvarez 6
A nice about-face for Alvarez who was pulled in the additional bisected for addition advancing player. He provides a nice clip on the angle and offers up a nice abhorrent blackmail in the midfield, abnormally with the injuries and absences that the aggregation is adverse appropriate now.
Deshorn Brown INC
I am not abiding what account to accord Brown. On one duke he showed his astonishing affection on his additional bisected goal, but again he misses what can alone be alleged a sitter. Brown has every apparatus in his bag to be a top flight striker, but he has these moments area his comedy boggles the mind.
Substitutions
Dillon Serna 5.5
Serna played 18 account (for Alvarez) and did not do abundant to analyze himself.
