In an amazing comeback, the Colorado Rapids defeated the Houston Dynamo 2-1, after going a goal down with only 20 minutes to play.<\/p>\n
The strength of Houston Dynamo\u2019s defense were almost successful in silencing the Colorado Rapids. However, Colorado\u2019s Jamie Smith and Scott Palguta scored goals that gave the Rapids the win.<\/p>\n
First Half<\/p>\n
It was a very slow, uneventful first half. Houston\u2019s Lovel Palmer had a missed shot in the 22\u2019.<\/p>\n
Cam Weaver and Brad Davis were shown yellow cards.<\/p>\n
The most action on the field was when Rapids\u2019 Omar Cummings was taken down, and left the field with a sprained ankle.<\/p>\n
Second Half<\/p>\n
This half was in complete contrast to the first half. Both teams came out ready to put the ball in the net.<\/p>\n
However, the Dynamo defense silenced the Rapids for the majority of the match, as they were having a difficult time playing as a cohesive unit.<\/p>\n
There were more shots on goal, mainly by Will Bruin, but it was finally Colin Clark who scored the first goal of the game at the 71\u2019, making the score 1-0, Houston.<\/p>\n
The new score gave the Colorado Rapids a determination to fight back, and they did.<\/p>\n
However, they were also aided by Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall being out of position.<\/p>\n
“I made a colossal error, and the team paid for it,” said Hall after the match. “Unfortunately, it happens. It happened today, and the team was punished for it. I think we played well enough to win. One goal is enough to win the game, and I feel like I let the team down today.\u201d”<\/p>\n
Jamie Smith put the ball in the back of the net, tying up the score 1-1.<\/p>\n
Within 10 minutes, the newest starter, Scott Palguta connected with a pass from Caleb Folan, making the final score 2-1 Colorado.<\/p>\n
Houston Dynamo seemed to control most of the match, yet it was the defending champions who walked away with the win.<\/p>\n
Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear bemoaned the result.<\/p>\n
“We controlled good periods of the game. They 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. We all need to do a better job of attacking the ball in the box. They did a good job off just knocking the ball forward using the big guys to try and disturb us.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
