Colorado Rapids- Top 5 Goals of 2023!

Bassett. Harris. And Cole Bassett. Going for it! Oh, what a goal! It's mere consolation, but that is a stunner from Cole Bassett. It's too late, but it's a second goal for Colorado. They'll now likely go down tonight by three goals to two. My goodness, Cole Bassett. Technique is impeccable. A little step over on Nagby. Just drops. Waits for Nagby to continue his run. No pressure, because Nagby, who was his mark, is now going to double Harris. Just admire it. Navajo. Lovely ball wide now for Calvin Harris. Harris! Quick feet! Oh! A sensational strike that doubles the lead for Colorado! How clever is this touch to get it back to the left foot? Right here. That is touch-tight marking by DeJuan Jones, but he gets him off of him with that touch into his left. Right here. First touch. Second touch beats him. DeJuan Jones can't stay touch-tight, and he curls it into the back post. What a finish. Only place it could go. And the goalkeeper doesn't have a chance. Colorado Rapids 2-0, and you saw the excitement, the elation. He goes straight to the bench. Situation against Austin. I love the idea that they make some decisions. Ronan fires his header across, and there's a back heel turned into the back of the net. What a top-drawer finish from a young man who's been in goal-scoring form of late for the Colorado Rapids. For Cole Bassett, that's his fourth goal over the last six games, and what a finish it was. And it comes off a restart. We saw in the first half, Colorado was dangerous on a few throw-ins. This one gets to Cole Bassett. A lot of orange jerseys just standing around here. Griffin Dorsey trying to deal with two players at the back post. And now here's Diego Rubio. Going to run right at Castellanos. Barrios making the run, and a shot into the back of the net for Diego Rubio! The former sporting Kansas City man comes back to bite his old team. 1-0 Rapids. One of the risks you take when you're dominant in possession and you're extending yourselves forward, taking more risks forward, is that game in transition. Colorado Rapids do a great job winning this ball in just a solo effort. A shout for a foul there. Referee lets it run. Diego Rubio catches Tamelia shifting across his body, leaving a big portion of the goal open there. Drieso revs the engine. Diego Rubio for Gutmann. Hold on, knocked it down! Cole Bassett, corner pocket! And the Rapids, running roughshod over the last few minutes, are back in it. This is excellent play by the Rapids. Multiple players getting into the box. Gutmann gets up, has the header that lays it back down. Once again, a late run into the box by Bassett. Finds himself in the right place, right time, and it's a clean strike. Putting the ball into the back of the net, having the scoreline here 2-1, and Colorado on the board.
