Player Ratings: Colorado Rapids dominate after Pec red card.

Pareja might be in trouble which is a crazy turn of events given the offseason they had.
08.03.2026 21:45 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Great offensive output to cash in on being up a man. But the sending off changes the game. It was 1-1 in the 60th and LA had momentum. Still, it’s clear they’re making progress. And 6 points against teams they need to beat to make the playoffs is huge. We’ll get a big data point next game at NYCFC.

Attendance last night was 14,568. Last week was 16,113 for the home opener in the sun.
It’s a number of factors. Powder weekend didn’t help. We know attendance picks up when the Avs and Nuggets seasons end and weather improves. We’ll see the impact of Summit in Apr

Darren Yapi wore sunglasses in mixed zone. He has a mark on his face from the shot he took off the face in the second half. He didn’t want people to see.
“I got killed, y’all. That was a bullet.” 🕶️
Nico Hansen says he found out he was starting on Thursday. He had good prep for a sudden start last year. Teammates did well to help him express himself. It was a good night all things considered.

Matt Wells on Rafael Navarro acting as captain with Zack Steffen out:
"I love Rafa... He was a perfect candidate. The players respect him. He went to another level tonight as captain. His press... it's unbelievable to have him in the team."
Matt Wells said none of the Colorado Rapids injuries are serious, but will be evaluated. Zack Steffen's shoulder injury shouldn't be long term. Darren Yapi is ok after blocking the ball with his face. Connor Ronan and Reggie Cannon will be evaluated early next week.

Fulltime! 4-1 to the Colorado Rapids!
WHAT👏A👏NIGHT👏 A great first half. Navarro forces the Pec red. All Pids after that. Yapi with the first goal and game winning assist. Manyoma opens his MLS account. Rafa with a brace in the end. A cathartic dismantling of the 10-man Gs!
What a snipe by Rafael Navarro. He has a brace in four minutes. Rapids have four goals. What a night for the Burgundy Boys!

Rafael Navarro with his first goal of 2026!

First time the Rapids have scored 4 goals since July 2024 against St. Louis? Need to double check.
Also, there's 10 minutes of stoppage time.
89' RAFAEL NAVARRO! Gets space in the box. TOP CORNER! GAME!
4-1 | #Rapids96
86' We have two pitch invaders breaking ankles on security before kickoff. THIS IS FOOTBALL HERITAGE
3-1 | #Rapids96
85' GOAL RAPIDS! Rafael Navarro with a tap in on a rebound from a Rosenberry shot. That should be game. The Rapids are "dominating" up a man!
3-1 | #Rapids96
Alexis Manyoma with his first MLS goal! Rapids take the lead! Too easy up a man. AND a Yapi assist!

Matt Wells is going to spend time in the film room on this.

76' GOAL RAPIDS! YAPI TO MANYOMA! BUENO!!!!
2-1 | #Rapids96
74' Chance Rosenberry! A header off a set piece whistles over the crossbar! Nearly a bi-annual Keegan banger.
1-1 | #Rapids96
68' Final Rapids sub: Ronan off with an injury. Players are dropping like flies. Alexis Manyoma on. KDP into midfield maybe? This game has had no flow since the sending off.
1-1 | #Rapids96
