Colorado Rapids beat New York RB in nine-goal thriller

The Colorado Rapids came from behind on the road to defeat the New York Red Bulls 5-4 in a thriller on Tuesday.

Within 10 minutes, New York led by two goals, Dru Yearwood finding the back of the net first when his shot from outside the box deflected the goalkeeper on the wrong foot, before Aaron Long comes home on the indirect free kick from Lewis Morgan. .

A costly mistake deep in the defense gave the Rapids a 21st-minute goal, with Diego Rubio curling his right-footed effort into the far post, but the Red Bulls seemed to have all the answers, with Morgan scoring from the penalty spot seven minutes later to lead 3-1 after half an hour.

Colorado ensured they would only go into the break one point after a well-worked move from a throw-in resulted in a powerful low kick from outside the box by Keegan Roseberry in the 38th minute.

There were over 30 minutes of scoreless action to start the second half, before the Rapids took control of the game with two quick goals. Collen Warner equalized in the 77th minute, before substitute Michael Barrios put the visiting team ahead three minutes later with an assist from Rubio.

Dantouma Touré completed the comeback making it 5-3 in the 89th minute, with a stoppage time penalty to Tom Barlow providing the ninth goal of the match.

Meanwhile, it was a very different game at Lumen Field where the Seattle Sounders beat Dallas FC 1-0 at home.

The only goal of the match came from a penalty in the first half, captain Nicolas Lodeira calmly passed it past the Dallas goalkeeper in the 39th minute.

Cristian Roldan was at the center of everything for the Sounders. Only two players completed more than 50 passes, and Roldan separated himself from the rest with 76 completed passes with 93% accuracy.

With the win, the Sounders moved into sixth place in the Western Conference, still three points behind fourth-placed Dallas, but one game less.
