In a scoreless first half,\u00a0Colorado\u00a0fought hard defensively, stopping Houston\u2019s scoring opportunities and creating several chances of their own. Goalkeeper Zackory Campagnolo kept the match scoreless\u00a0with multiple impressive saves, even sacrificing his body to stop\u00a0a\u00a0scoring\u00a0chance.\u00a0The hosts succeeded in limiting Colorado\u2019s attacks\u00a0and shut down the few\u00a0opportunities\u00a0allowed\u00a0in their defensive third.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Starting off the second half on a better foot, Rapids 2 displayed a new intensity and\u00a0immediately\u00a0found themselves in a goal-scoring position. Despite the shift in momentum, Houston would find the back of the net first in the 60th\u00a0minute.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though Rapids 2\u00a0exhibited\u00a0a noticeable change in pace, it would not be enough to stop a shot from Houston\u2019s\u00a0D\u2019Allesandro Herrera in the 89th\u00a0minute, putting Colorado down 2-0.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
