FC Dallas 3 Colorado Rapids 1 – The most frustrating Rapids match in history

In most cases, that would signal the end for a team, but this game was a quite interesting one. The Rapids had, by most counts, controlled the play prior to the two goal burst by Dallas, and they continued to control it after, as well. When you hear this game described as 'frustrating', that's the reason why. Colorado had every opportunity to grab a goal back, or even a duo of goals back, before the end of the first half. Essentially every statistic except for goals belonged to the Rapids.

By the end of the match, the Rapids had outshot Dallas 24-7. I'm going to repeat that, because it sounds like a Gridiron Football score. The Rapids outshot Dallas 24-7. They had seven corners to Dallas' one. They out-crossed Dallas 19-4. They also lost 3-0.
