The Columbus Crew defeated the Colorado Rapids 3-0 on Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio. Santiago Rodríguez opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with an unassisted header. Gonzalo Tapia extended the lead in the 82nd minute with a curled shot and later provided an assist to Taha Habroune during stoppage time to finalize the score.
The loss drops the Colorado Rapids to a 2-9-1 record on the road this season. Despite recent home wins and new signings, the team struggled with disorganized defending and low energy in the first half. Adam Beaudry started in goal for Colorado, recording three saves, while Columbus goalkeeper Patrick Schulte earned his fourth clean sheet of the season.
Colorado's next match is against Austin FC, while Columbus will face D.C. United.
