Overview

  • Colorado’s Jackson Travis received a straight red card in the sixth minute for a reckless challenge on Sergi Palencia, forcing the Rapids to play almost the entire match with 10 men.
  • Denis Bouanga converted a 42nd-minute penalty to notch his 50th regular-season goal, joining Carlos Vela as the only LAFC players to reach that mark.
  • Nate Ordaz tapped in Nico Hansen’s rebound in the 48th minute before loanee Javairô Dilrosun scored his first MLS goal in the 59th to complete the scoring.
  • LAFC controlled 70% of possession, matched a season-high with 22 shots and extended their perfect home record against Colorado to 7-0-0.
  • The Rapids have one win in seven games and their third red card of the season tied them with Inter Miami for the league lead in dismissals.
