Darren Yavarro for the first shot of the penalty shootout.

Wow what a goal by Ignacio Rivera. Unreal strike. Equalizer for Cruz Azul.

2-2

Rapids killer has entered the pitch.

Rosenberry, Larraz, Murphy and Vines for Cannon, Bassett, Maxsø and Travis to start the second half for the Rapids.

And Cruz Azul responds!! Strike by Willer Ditta gets deflected and wrongfoots Nico Hansen. More right-center back goals in this game than otherwise. What is happening?

2-1 Rapids

THE GREAT DANEEEEE

Agreed. Rapids love to get physical profiles with potential to become technically sound. Alex Harris is kinda the opposite. Will be a fun project

Alex Harris really knows how to use his body to create space for his age. Straight from the Navarro striker manual.

I've seen enough keep this 11 for the rest of the year

NICO HANSEN WOW

OOOOOF Wathuta bruises the crossbar from close distance with essentially an open goal. Carbon copy of Sam Bassett's miss from Portland.

Majority of this Cruz Azul 11 has played 150+ minutes from 3 LMX games. This is far from a rotated squad, at least in comparison

These last two games have shown us Connor Ronan MUST be on the field for set pieces now without Djordje Mihailovic.

‘Cruz Azul struggling to handle the Rapids press

led by Wathuta, Alex Harris, and Sam Bassett’

is not something I thought I’d ever say.

#Rapids96

Sydney Wathuta credited with an assist on the Rafael Navarro goal (for now). Took him three whole top flight minutes to get on the scoresheet. Not bad!

LOL NO WAY

Sydney Wathuta has received his second call-up of his season for tonight’s game against Cruz Azul.

Wouldn’t at all be surprised to see him on the field tonight given neither team is playing for anything.

Djordje Mihailovic’s transfer to Toronto is official.

Rapids coach Chris Armas on the Djordje Mihailovic move and what it means for rest of the season:

"I think it's more appropriate when things become official that we talk more about that."

"We focus on what we have, we have to move forward. Regardless, we move forward together."

Sigh.

Back on the mic Wednesday night to talk out the Djordje news, Holding, Leagues Cup, and everything else Pids related. Going to make it a mailbag as well, drop your questions, rants, ideas whatever right here 👇✉️

That’s fair. First opportunity to speak with Djordje, the question will of course be asked.

We may never know the truth. From conversations I’ve had, there’s no indication an explanation went further than “now being the right time” for a move, or something of that nature

Rapids send star Djordje Mihailovic to Toronto FC for club-record transfer fee, sources say The Colorado Rapids are finalizing a deal to send midfielder Djordje Mihailovic to Toronto FC, sources told The Denver Post.

Full story on Djordje Mihailovic’s surprise transfer request from the Colorado Rapids to Toronto FC:

-Club record fee hardly consolation for Rapids front office, who didn’t see this coming
-Financial implications, where money might go
-Djordje’s notable moments

I mean, he wanted a move and he got it.

Obviously this transfer is the reason Djordje Mihailovic missed last night’s Leagues Cup match.

The Colorado Rapids’ front office made multiple attempts to sway Mihailovic to stay, but his mind was made up.

Mihailovic has played his last game for Colorado.

Can confirm this.

Chris Armas on Djordje Mihailovic's absence:

Personal reasons, he's working through it. The club is behind him.

74' Rapids given a gift! Own goal by Jackson Porozo, who scored Tijuana's first goal. Beam of a cross by Oli Larraz put in by Porozo.

2-1 Tijuana

72' Goal Tijuana. Ramiro Arciga doubles the lead off the bench. Zack Steffen had a good save bounce right to him, putback was simple. Rapids haven't looked very goal dangerous despite having majority possession this half.

2-0 Tijuana
