Speaker 1 (00:00):
Able to finish that one on adrenaline, but two days
later Niko Hansen has.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
To come in in between the pipes. Baul goes back
to Cabral. Rapids were moving up the left side. Couldn't
hang on to it.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Daren Yeah, He gets it back into the back hill
to Mahailovich, over to Larass.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
A shot deflected blocked away by salt Lake in the
fifth minute could have been maybe should have been one
zero Colorado. Instead, Larazi shot is blocked before it even
gets to goal.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
He had an extra pass to Connery and Kevin Cabral
wide open at the penalty spot.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Sometimes in your hometown derby, yet.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
You can get an assist. Cannon lays it back to Cabral.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Cabral right foot, thought about a cross, decides against it,
rolls it back ten yards now into the middle for Larraz,
Larass back out to Bassett. Bassett forward for Canon. Cannon
looking for a cross comes in yeap. He gets ahead
to it and it goes backwards off his head. Gozo
will track it down near the corner flag and let
it roll out for a throw. We'll have one minute
minimum of added time here.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
It's a good cross from Reggie Cannon there just a
little bit too high for Darren Yappy.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
That's who you want to look for.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
You have crossing opportunities and is marked close by Justin
Glad Reggie Cannon getting forward in that right back position.
He's done a lot of good work tonight in this
first half so far, both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Here's Cabral with a good pass from Bassett running forward,
finds Mihailovich. Mahilovich top of the eighteen, rolls it over
to Travis, comes back across the face of goal, kicked
away by salt Lake. Atensio has it in the middle
of salt Lake's half, thought about a shot, rolls it
over to Laras forward five yards for Cannon. Back to
Laaraz picks up his head, crosses it back post, chest
(01:53):
it down for Cabral off of Kalaskan.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Forty ninth minute nothing.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Nothing, It's a good play from the Rapids. They're a
nice line breaking past from Cole. Bassett finds Kevin Cabral,
who just peeled off of that back line of Raal
salt Lake gets it back to Georgie Mihailovich, who's.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Able to run in goal.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Jackson Travis tries the low early cross. It's defended well
by salt Lake. But a good start to the second
half here for the Rapids. A lot of energy both
sides of the ball created a couple half opportunities.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Nifty footwork by Kodi Pietro gets into Mahilovich. Now the
underlap cannon knocked back across call.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Rapids still looking to get a shut up short.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
To the arch knocks in it in the corner.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
There's your hero in the seven minute cold.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'll take a one lead.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Who steps up, Connor, You're.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Best player, Georgie Mihailovich. And it's nifty forward from Ted
Kuti Pietro on the right side and a nice underlap
from Reggie k with Georgievailovitch on the ball keeps it
alive just on.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
The in line. It bounces around a.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Bit and falls to Georgia Mihailovitch's right foot at the
top of the six. And what does he do in
that situation? Shoot hard and low to the back post.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I need one fifty five on the board, seven minutes
minimum aunt of time wrap its up. One zero sliding
challenge made by max U gets it back for Colorado.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
That is the hustle and effort you need in a
rivalry match.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Fall away to Calvin Harris and he shakes justin Glad
out of his shoes.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Calvin Harris has Sam Bassett on the left.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Here comes Sam Bassett top of the eighteen, cuts to.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Us right, pasted it to nobody. Harris put the brakes on.
Bassett thought he was making a run to the post.
Ends up being a goal kick quickly taken.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
That could have been too nil O'Connor, Sam Bassett, I
don't mind the extra pass there. He cuts in on
his right foot. He can certainly take a shot, but
he's got Calvin Harrison. I just don't think they were
on the same page. Calvin Harrison kind of held up
his run and Bassett plays it in front of him
and it rolls out for a goalkick. But he just
needs to play his feet. He played Calvin Harrison's feet there.
(04:14):
He's at the penalty spot, wide open with just cabral
to beat.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I think he just misses him. Thirty eight and Dick
Sporty goots Park can start to taste all three points
and one hand on.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The Rocky Mountain Cup.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Cannon's gonna have to throw we're through the minimum of seven,
and that is the final whistle.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
The Rapids back in the win column, three points richer
and three points against their Rocky Mountain rivals, where Real
Salt Lake one zero the final score thanks to Georgia
Malovich and Cole Bassett.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
On the deciding goal and Drew.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
We'd be remiss if we didn't talk about goalkeeper Nico Hanson,
the first clean sheet for Colorado since March, keeping a
very talented Rail Salt Lake team off the score sheet.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
The Rappids did a good job of doing what you
said they needed to do.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
They bottled up Diego Luna and it didn't seem like
there were a ton of ideas outside of the young.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
American for Salt Lake did a great job with Diego Luna.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
To the point where.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
He's drifting so deep and wide to get on the ball.
That's when you know he's frustrated. He's not getting the
ball enough in dangerous spots. He's not able to provide.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Passes go on the dribble.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
The Rapids were very organized defensively tonight, Connor very organized.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
I'm impressed with just how.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Compact they were and how difficult they made it for
a good rail Salt Lake side, a good rail Salt
Lake first eleven tonight. They made it very difficult for
them to penetrate and create good opportunities.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Nico Hansen was confident in goal, didn't.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Have anything spectacular to do, but did everything that he
had to do and this is a big result. Would
have loved to have seen that second goal. Sam Bassett
and Calvin Harris had the opportunity. But you take a victory,
you take all three points against your rivals, you end
that three game skid, and you do it in front
(06:25):
of your home fans.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It's a big night for the Burgundy boys.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And coming up next for Colorado, it's gonna be right
back here at Dick Porting Goods Park against Saint Louis
City SC. The Rapids have already played Saint Louis. They
did on opening day at Energizer Park.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
We don't know. I think Saint Louis was losing one nil.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
In their match earlier, but what do you expect them
to bring here to Dick Porting Goods Park.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Saint Louis ended up losing three nil in Minnesota tonight.
They've been an interesting team and the fact that they've
gone so so much to the opposite end of the
spectrum from what they were last the last couple of seasons. Right,
they were high energy, high press, direct, go go go,
(07:18):
and now Olaff Mehlberg comes in and takes over and
they're very much defensive.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
They'll sit deep. It was typically a five three two
three five two.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Now they have changed their formation at times the past
couple of weeks to try to create a little bit
more going forward, but they'll be difficult to break down defensively,
and they'll try to be opportunistic.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
And attack going the other way.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
There was nil nil on match day one, as you said, Cannor,
when the Rapids went to Energizer Park. So the Rapids,
they'll have to do what they can to make that
a defensive unit uncomfortable and run back towards their own goal.
Stretch him out as much as you possibly can, and
(08:04):
be patient with it because they will play the long game,
will Saint Louis and look to hit you on the counter.
Stay organized on the defensive side of the ball, just
like you were. Tonight should be an entertaining matchup, nonetheless,
and the Rapids will go into it full of confidence
after a big Darby Darby win tonight, and there were
some good individual performances tonight, Connor, I thought Jackson Travis
(08:28):
was very good. Yeah, I thought Ted Kuddpacher came on
and made the difference in the game, especially on the goal.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
And what can you say, Georgia Mihailovich.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
He was the one who I said pre match, during
our out of bound segment down on the field, Connor,
Georgia Mihilovich is going to step up tonight and be
the difference.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And he was, and he certainly was, and he.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Was, and the Rapids the difference between them and RSL tonight.
One goal, one zero for Colorado. Will be back next
Saturday right here on the Altitude Sports Radio Network for
Rapids in Saint Louis City, SC.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
That is one week away.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
But tonight, your Rapids are three points to Richard Drew
Moore as your match channelst. Jesse Tree, our match engineer,
Kaj and Berto back at the studio.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We're gonna go back.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
To y'all now enjoy the first win of the Rocky
Mountain Cup and the Rapids gaining three points in the
Western Conference of the MLS standings. Thank you so much
for joining us. We hope, we hope you have a
safe and pleasant evening.
