Per Sporting Kansas City, Pulskamp is the first Sporting KC goalkeeper to have two assists in a season, and joins Tony Meola as the only goalkeeper in club history with multiple assists. #SportingKC

89' GOAL RAPIDS! Rafael Navarro stutter step. Sends Big Bear the wrong way. The Colorado Rapids pull one back. 1-2 | #Rapids96

90+2 Djordje free kick. Team spread out wide. Lots of options. He goes directly for goal. Well over the bar. 1-2 | #Rapids96

Fulltime. 1-2. Thommy with a great goal on his own cancels out a late penalty from Navarro. It's really hard to win games when you give up easy chances and don't bury the looks you have. Unlucky at times, but also self-inflicted. This might not be a playoff team. #Rapids96

Per FotMob, it was the highest xG for Colorado all season (3.64). The next highest was against San Diego in that home win (3.41). The next highest in a loss? 2.33 in that home loss to Austin. I guess goals do change games. That Hansen mistake was devastating

Chris Armas on the recent big mistakes: We don't play the blame game. It's never one moment. There's lots of moments we can do better. Marginal gains. The sum of that makes a difference. There is a thing about not giving away games. We have to get better at not giving it away.

Chris Armas on who's taking penalties: It's been Djordje and Rafa in training, with Djordje first mostly. There's different moments where it makes sense for one or the other to take it. Didn't say coaches decide in the moment from the bench who takes it.

Keegan Rosenberry: We let the fans down. Such an awesome event that club puts on. One of my favorite fixtures. I hold my hand up on the second goal. That play, I felt it came down to just being stronger and putting in more of a challenge on that first long ball.

Did the Rapids not purchase a striker to finish off xG? What is the issue here? For as much xG as the #Rapids96 got, I don't think that matters. They imploded. They started lazily and after conceding were allowed space. Some BAD luck for sure, but still an unacceptable result.

Colorado outshot SKC 25-5 (9-2 on goal). Corners 10-2. FotMob had the xG at 3.64-0.82. Take away the penalties and it's still over 2 expected goals. The Rapids had a good performance last night. Three big mistakes had them chasing the game. They're not good at coming from behind.
