Facing a team that has not lost yet this season, the Colorado Rapids knew it was going to be a hard fought battle as they faced the Houston Dynamo at Robertson Stadium.<\/p>\n
In spite of new additions to the starting line-up, an injury to their striker, and being down 1-0, the defending champions were able to bring home a victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat win!\u201d tweeted Wells Thompson. \u201cHats off to Houston; they\u2019ve got a really great team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Houston possessed the ball much of the time, but for the Rapids it wasn\u2019t how much how you had the ball, but what you did with it that ended up giving them the 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe controlled good periods of the game,\u201d Houston Dynamo Coach Dominic Kinnear states. \u201cThe Colorado Rapids start their road trip celebrating a win<\/p>\n

Houston Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear stated after the match, \u201cThey defended very well and took advantages of the mistakes we made. I think to be 1-0 up and two minutes later to give up a goal is a little deflating. They did a good job off just knocking the ball forward using the big guys to try and disturb us.\u201d<\/p>\n
With Omar Cummings injured, midfielder Jamie Smith and defender Scott Palguta were able to step in, and bring home a much needed win.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Colorado Rapids were able to steal a win with not much offense going against Houston\u2019s strong defense,\u201d announced former Rapids Marcela Balboa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
