52' Goal Loons. Whittaker's back pass to Hamzat picked off by Yeboah. He turns it into a breakaway and scores. Another Rapids lead goes up in smoke.

HALF-TIME #COLvMIN

Yapi scores in first half stoppage time to put #Rapids96 up over #MNUFC

Halftime. Colorado Rapids 1, Minnesota United 0.

An absolute nothing half before Darren Yapi scores in stoppage time. Colorado had most of the ball. Morgan Whittaker has been lively. Matt Wells has to feel better about the team talk with the goal. #Rapids96

YAPI HOUR!!!!
Rapids lead 1-0!
#Rapids96

45+1' colorado scores in first half stoppage time *sigh*

Cross whipped in by Keegan Rosenberry and Darren Yapi smacks it in off the volley to put the Rapids up right before the break.

#Rapids96 | 1 – 0 | #MNUFC

1-0 | #Rapids96

35' Real good chance for Minnesota. Long ball down the right. Goes central and falls to Chancaley. Williams slides in there and blocks it. Hansen falls on it.

0-0 | #Rapids96

What a dive! Minnesota looked like they were diving into one of their 10,000 lakes! #Rapids96

29' Good spell for Colorado. Phillip to Aaronson, intercepted. Ball out to Whittaker who cuts inside. Saved by Callender. That's the second or third time Whittaker's tried that. Getting closer.

0-0 | #Rapids96

19' Rapids win the ball at midfield. Whittaker with an outlet ball to Yapi. The pass to an open Aaronson was on. Yapi goes alone. Shot out for a corner. Yapi has been selfish so far.

0-0 | #Rapids96
