Moïse Bombito made it a game, but the Colorado Rapids were unable to pull back for a point at TQL Stadium against FC Cincinnati. The 2-1 loss, headlined by two moments of Cincinnati excellence, is the first loss for the Rapids in more than a month. Reigning MLS MVP Luciano Acosta got the scoring started in the 42nd minute when he and Corey Baird connected for a wonderful one-two past Bombito, which Acosta buried to the opposite post with Oliver Larraz hounding him from behind. It was otherwise a great first half, but the Rapids found themselves with a deficit heading into the locker room. In the 64th minute, Baird struck for his first goal in a Cincinnati jersey with a chip over Rapids keeper Zack Steffen.
