Speaker 1 (00:00):
Atensio thought about a cross back to Canon, who then
crosses it in.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yeah, be looking for that header. Don't know that he
caught it cleanly.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Comes back out to a Tensottensio in the box, lifts
it up, knocked away by Saint Louis Coody Pietro chasing
it and it's cleared to the center circle. Murphy is
there a bit too leisurely on the ball and we
got a one v one opportunity. Nico Hanson, You're gonna
have to come up big. Nico Hansen does first time
of asking. Jua Klaus swifts.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
At the rebound.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's stay zero zero after Saint Lewis, we're gifted at
opportunity to open the scoring. Nico Hansen stands tall.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
What is say from Nico Hansen as Cedric toy Shirt
picks the ball off of Ian Murphy in it and
then he' goes straight in from there went back to
Joel Klaus, who found toy Shirt. He had half the
field to run at. Nico Hansen had a lot of
time to think about. That makes himself big. Keeps the
ball out of the back.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Of the net. He's done everything right so far.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Connor allow toy shurtle one v one opportunity, and then
just before that, Heartol and Juel Klaus are able to
combine inside the rapids penalty area. All teams have players
that can hurt you.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Kody Patrol right side, just outside the box, dribbles into
the box left foot looking for a Yappy Yeppy, knocks
it down back to goal.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Turns, Yuppie gets it pass two defenders.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Down this right hand side, goes on the dribble and
Darren Yappy, he just he looks so confident. He looks
like that that's.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
His spot right now.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I know Haff Navajo still dealing with a little bit
of an injury. But Darren Yappi brings this down with
his back to goal and decides I'm just gonna turn
and have a go.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So Klaus remains in that that runs only one goal.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
On ten appearances.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Cannon off the turnover, sprinting forward, low cross top of
the eighteen. Mahailovitch took an aflection volume right place, right time,
cornerkick coming for Colorado or else. Mahailovich was gonna have
his seventh goal of the season.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Great run from Reggie Cannon down the right side. He
continues to be a positive influence and attack for the Rapids,
which is not necessarily what he's known for. He's such
a good defender, but anytime he gets up that right side,
whether he's on the ball or not, a lot of
times something happens. And he cuts this ball back across
(02:35):
the top of the box and Joji Mihailovitch's left footed
shot is just blocked by volume. It's tough to see
what was gonna happen, but he's got himself a corner
kick here.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So Berkie from the circle lofts it into the box.
It gets headed away by Harris out the near side
of throwing coming for the visitors. Running out of time,
here Bombgardle with the toss, big throw into the box.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Harris again with the header. Saint Louis send it back
to Burkey, but.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That is the final whistle here at Dix Bording Goods Park,
Colorado won Saint Louis City sc zero. Back to back
clean sheets for Colorado and tonight, Darren Yappy, Ted Coodi
Pietro the heroes. Ted had the assist, Yappy the goal,
(03:31):
the finish that made the difference that give the Rapids
three points tonight. What did you see in this ninety
minutes that had a weather delay and was cold and soggy.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It wasn't the cleanest victory, Connor, but we talked about
it before the game. Saint Louis the form they were in.
They were going to come in like a wounded animal
and really do anything they could to go away with
at the very least a point.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And the Rapids did what they had to do.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
They showed the call in the goal between Ted Kudi
Pietro and Darren Yappi.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
They defended organized compact.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
There were a couple transitional moments that Rappits had to
suffer a little bit and put themselves under a little
bit of stress.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
By no means a clean performance, but.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You know, it's been a busy month, busy stretch and
to go away with all three points is really the
most important thing. And there was some good performances, some
positives to take, but I think there's still plenty to
improve upon and the quality when you know, win possession
and in the final third needs to continue to improve.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But all in all, you can't be too disappointed with
a with a one nothing victor.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And now midweek against Portland at Providence Park. This is
a team that came in here and won earlier this season.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
What do you expect the Rapids.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Game plan to be going into that one that has
been a tough place to play lately.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
You got to take care of the transitional moments that
Portland have. They have Anti Moreno and Antony and and
and Da.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Costa and and Mora.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
They've got really good players with a lot of pace
and directness, and the Rapids it's been their achilles heel
a bit have Portland and the way that they're able
to attack with pace and and and in transition, and
so that's gonna have to be identified of course as
their main threat. And the rap is you know, can
you possess the ball? Can you take a little bit
of that away from them? Can you be opportunists and
(05:27):
opportunistic going forward? It's a difficult place to go play.
It's always a good atmosphere, good team with some good players.
So they've got to be on it and it'll be
it'll be a good challenge in a midweek match that's.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
