Colorado recorded two victories, two draws and a defeat against five games, with their eight-point record in the Western conference seventh place and 15th place in the overall ranking.

Chris ArmasThe men started the season with consecutive patts against St. Louis City and Dallas before spending two consecutive victories against Austin FC and San Jose on the street.

However, her unbeaten run was brought to a standstill last weekend in a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Portland, which further emphasizes her fights on your own lawn, where you stay tinless in your last five league excursions and have losing four.

The last MLS home victory of the Rapids is until September last year, when they passed 2-0 by Toronto, and they will be desperately desperately to end this barren magic, although the story indicates another close matter, with both earlier encounters against Charlotte in stalemates.

In contrast to their hosts, Dean SmithThe team enjoyed a productive excursion last weekend and dismantled San Jose 4-1 to continue their strong start into the season.

The crowns showed their attacking skills and ran into a lead of four goals Pep BielPresent Ashley WestwoodPresent Brandt Bronico And Kerwin VargasDespite 12 shots less than their opponents, who only lived a late consolation from the penalty point Cristian Arango.

This result increased Charlotte to 10 points from three wins, a draw and a defeat, which took second place in the Eastern Conference and third place in the overall ranking in the overall ranking.

Their success in the early season was fueled by strong home events, but its shape on the street remains a problem, with only one point of two trips collected and a trend from the previous campaign was continued.

The crown has now played four games without a win in the league, with a 3-0 triumph about DC United in October 2024 in October 2024.
