Colorado Rapids is a top team, atleast that's what the table shows but their recent results have proved otherwise. Results of the last 5 games of the Rapids showed they had 3 wins and 2 defeats and their overall season record is: 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
The Rapids were a goal short of a draw in their last game against San Jose Earthquakes at home. Rafael Navarro and Omir Fernandez gave the Rapids a 2-goal lead in the 33’ and 42’ minutes but the celebrations was cut short as the Earthquakes replied by scoring 2 themselves in the 44’ and 50’ minutes. And finally in the 66’ minute, San Jose completed the comeback to lead 3-2. The game stayed that way until the end and Colorado Rapids were defeated. According to stats, the Rapids had 64% possession, 6 shots on target and 7 corner kicks.
