Comment on Rafael Navarro’s seventh goal of season lifts Rapids past Vancouver on wet night at DSGP

Rafael Navarro’s seventh goal of season lifts Rapids past Vancouver on wet night at DSGP

What better way to respond to an ugly loss than with an ugly win? Just a few days after blowing a 2-0 lead to the worst team in the Western Conference, the Colorado Rapids (6-4-3) earned a better result against a better team, getting the best of the Vancouver Whitecaps (5-4-3), 1-0, to move into a four-way tie for second place in the West. The lone goal for the Rapids on a rainy Wednesday night at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park came from the penalty spot in first-half stoppage time thanks to Rafael Navarro, who is now a perfect 4 for 4 on penalty kicks. “It’s important for a striker to score the goals, and the group and the staff have embraced me very well,” Navarro said after scoring his seventh goal of the season.
