Uganda Cranes’ Micheal Azira put up a brilliant second half show as Colorado Rapids drew with the Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday.
The Rapids added another point to their 2017 campaign, after going ahead by one goal just at the restart of the match.
Tony Tchani put the Whitecaps ahead off a shot that hit the right post less than five minutes into the game.
Colorado answered ten minutes later when centerback Axel Sjoberg got on the end of second-phase ball and calmly volleyed a shot past David Ousted.
Kevin Doyle doubled the score for Rapids when he won a ball on his own half and was on the receiving end of a Marlon Hairston backheel in the box to put away his fifth goal of the year.
Vancouver’s Fredy Montero however spoilt the party flicking in a header off Cristian Techera’s free kick past Tim Howard for the equalizer.
Azira who seemed to almost get a second yellow struggled to really make an impact on the game in the first half, before doing a better job in the second half.
The Ugandan got the first yellow card after unsporting behaviour in the first half extra time. He was later substituted for Bismark Boateng in the 86th minute.
