The Colorado Rapids beat the New York Red Bulls 2-1 at a snowy Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Saturday night after kick-off was delayed nearly 30 minutes due to blizzard conditions.

Jermaine Jones, making his long-awaiting debut for the Rapids, played the hero with a goal and an assist. He opened the scoring in the 20th minute, slotting home a low cross from Mekeil Williams near the penalty spot, and then played provider for the winner, sliding a well weighted ball into the path of Dominique Badji in the 82nd.

The win is the Rapids' second in a week, while the Red Bulls extend their winless run to four games. New York did snap a 337-minute long scoring draught in the 60th minute, when Ronald Zubar headed home a Sacha Kljestan cross at the back post.
