The Rapids had good intentions of winning this game but early it was hard to see. They gave up a goal in the 4th minute of regulation. Colorado would later storm back in the 1st half led by Rafael Navarro, Keegan Rosenberry, and Rafael Santos! Rapids lead 2-1 at the half.
In the 2nd Half, Zack Steffen was COOKING as he stopped multiple attempts from Kansas City to tie it up.
But as the 2nd went along, it was all apart of KC's plan to wear down Colorado. Sporting KC goes on to score three goals in eight minutes and the rest was history. Sporting Kansas City wins 4-2. Connor Cape has the call from Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
