Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yobolich pounces on a ball, forces it why Tommy is there?
Back to Yobolich. Jovlich knocks it over the goal line.
It's one mil Kansas City in the fourth minute and
with his twelfth goal of the season, the new striker
for the visitors opens things up. And we've talked about

(00:21):
this on the videoboard pregame. Drew he was your player
to watch. He's dangerous, he's goal dangerous and he applies
enough pressure to Hanson. Hanson can't get the ball out
from underneath his foot. Tommy pounces on it, back to
Joviolich and over the line.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, you want to play with with tempo O'Connor, but
you want to play in the right areas of the
field and when you're playing within your own penalty area,
need to be sharp. You need to make the right decisions.
And Nico Hansen has been fantastic for the Rapids end
goal that this is a mistake from him trying to
play out Andreas Max who I don't mind the decision
to try to get it to Maksu, but it's got

(00:55):
to be with a bit more pace and accuracy.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
So the amount of turns it over passing it to
Harris in the center. Harris tries to line up an effort,
got pushed off the ball for a moment by the
song gets it back over to Coody Pietro light left
put an effort saved by Polescamp. Now he doves out
here the spill and he fouls behind the avich and
it's a penalty for Colorado. In the twenty ninth minute,

(01:19):
Pulescamp blocked the shot, dove after it, and dove right
into Mahailovich. Dix boarding goods bark up on its feet
number ten in Burgundy, looking to level things from the spot.
Mahailovich right put a ball off the post, scooped back

(01:41):
into the box. Attempted bicycle kick by Harris doesn't come off.
Kansas City heading it around in the eighteen it's going
to go out for a corner for Colorado and Navaja
kicks it off the adboards in frustration. The Rapids had
an opportunity to level this one up inch just six

(02:01):
inches too far to the left.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Wonder post Camp does guess right there if Mihailovich sees
him going that way and just tries to put it
a little bit further in the corner and becausee he
even bounces a little on him. It's always tough to
be the penalty taker, over and over again.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Connor, Kansas City, they heard you saying that they were
reluctant to go in transition. Tried to go quickly there,
but the Rappids defended it well, snuffed it out. Now
the Rapids to be able to catch him off guard.
Kudy Pietro at the inline in the box, stood on
the ball back to Mahilovitch top of the eighteen right
put a shot off the other post. Georgia Mohilovich just

(02:44):
hit both posts in the first forty five minutes. There's
still almost forty minutes plus stoppage time left in this one,
so it's a bit too early. As Tommy brings down
this long ball, Tommy cuts him behind a couple defenders.
Tommy from the arc a goal in and assist number
twenty six in Sporting Blue, and everything I just said

(03:07):
is moot.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
And I'll give Eric Tommy a lot of credit for
this individual run and finish, but it's poorly defended from
the Rapids. Both Keegan Rosenberry and Andreas Max, who then
even a third Shidohawasi. I'm just not aggressive enough. He's
able to receive it out of the air from Pole

(03:33):
Scamp as he Keikan just gets the wrong side of
Tommy and he takes both Rosenberry and maxw On at
once and eats him.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yapp He receives the pass outside the box from Rosenberry.
Yappi cutting to the right inside the eighteen Yappie is
knocked down penalty Colorado second of the evening, eighty eighth minute.
This could be the opportunity for Colorado to get back
into this man Navaja stutter steps to the ball right foot,

(04:05):
tucks it home. Rapids within one late against Sport in
Kansas City. They have clawed their way back into this match,
and it's huge from Hoffing.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Navajo in a big moment to give the Rapids life
steps up and since pull Scamp the wrong way a
couple stutter steps, takes his time but constantly moving forward,
gets pull Scamped just to leave, just to lean a
little bit too much shows Navaja where he's going. Navajo

(04:43):
the calmness to put it away and could be a
frantic finish to this match.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Here O'Connor forty five seconds left in this one rapids
looking for the equalizer. They were down two nil. Now
they're down to one. Navaja converted from the penalty spot.
Now they just need one more. Dick Spoording gets park
behind them, a sellout seventeen and a half thousand. It's
rown and lifts this one to the top of the eighteen.

(05:09):
Got headed out by Kansas City. Shallow he pulls it down.
Stewart Bain's running with him, shallowy. He just flops to
the ground. I don't know how that can be a foul.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's similar to what we talked about in the first half. Connor,
it's shallow. We just looking for the foul again. He's
a veteran, gets in between Kamani, Stewart Baines and the
ball and the second he feels contact he goes down
and that's it.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
The final whistle is this kick doesn't even need to
be taken. It's two to one Kansas City. The final
score here is a Dix Sporting gets Park
