Commerce City, COLORADO - Austin FC fell 1-0 to the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Austin had a couple of opportunities to score during the first 45 minutes, with Dani Pereira and Emiliano Rigoni coming close to an opening goal. Colorado took the lead in the 41st minute when Andreas Maxsø scored from Connor Ronan's corner kick at the back post.
In the second half, the Verde & Black pressed forward in search of an equalizer.
