Match Timeline
Houston could've realistically ended this road trip with 6/9 points. In the end, they're lucky to be leaving with 1. #ForeverOrange- Match ends, Colorado Rapids 2, Houston Dynamo 1.
#COLvHOU. Completely shocking game and performance. Away from Houston the Dynamo are mostly unwatchable- 90'+4'Second Half ends, Colorado Rapids 2, Houston Dynamo 1.
90+2' Horst gets a head on a long cross from Alex. It's on frame, but not enough power to beat Irwin. #COLvHOU- 90'+3'Attempt saved. David Horst (Houston Dynamo) header from the centre of the box is saved in the top centre of the goal. Assisted by Alex with a cross.
Safe to say this is the last time we see Alex at LB. #foreverorange- 88'Foul by Marcelo Sarvas (Colorado Rapids).

Okay. 20 minutes. Can we get a goal? Can we find that elusive "possession"? #COLvHOU #ForeverOrange- Scratch that: Manotas and Miranda wide in a 4-3-3. Barnes in the middle up top. #COLvHOU
