Another night, another loss. There was some hope early with good work by Nicholson but in the end the Crew had more talent and got the three points. As expected the inability to possess the ball and be dangerous allowed Columbus to just send wave after wave of attacks at us (17 shots) and eventually we broke, multiple times.
To be fair, Colorado's offense looked better than expected early. The Crew controlled the game but kept making mistake after mistake to give the Rapids chances and Lewis and Nicholson were there to try to take advantage, but only Sam's early goal actually broke through. Columbus' center backs were quite poor all night but Colorado once again couldn't convert. They got a second with the final kick of the game by Bassett, one that will easily be up for Goal of the Week, but it was too little too late.
Now we move on to hosting San Jose, who just got their first road win in almost a year in Seattle last night. Our Bodmer Line is now higher than our season results every year other than 2016 and 2021. After the San Jose game we'll be at the midpoint of the season, and anything short of a win means we'll have our lowest point total at the halfway point. Its just not getting any better.
Man of the Match: Sam Nicholson, not just for the goal but his overall play was better than we've seen in a long time from him.
