Rapids’ coach Pablo Mastroeni made no changes to the starting lineup from last weekend’s 3-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
In fact, the only change to the 18 was defender Axel Sjöberg replacing midfielder Dillon Serna on the bench.
Fire controlled most of the possession in the early stages and their dominance paid off.
Rapids dropped to 2-7-1, remaining in last place in the Western Conference.
Micheal Azira featured for the whole match, getting cautioned early in the second half. He saw yellow in the 62nd minute.
