The defending Major League Soccer champion Colorado Rapids snapped a four-game losing streak Wednesday at Robertson Stadium in Houston with a 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo.
After playing to a draw after the first 45 minutes, Colin Clark put the Dynamo on the scoreboard with an assist from Je-Vaughn Watson in the 71st minute, but Colorado leveled the score two minutes later on an unassisted Jamie Smith goal, then saw Caleb Folan feed a pass to Scott Palguta for the game-winning goal in the 84th minute.
Colorado is now 4-3-1 with 13 points, second best in the Western Conference and three points behind the Los Angeles Galaxy (4-2-3-, 15) for the conference lead and the best record in the league. The Rapids will travel to the New England Revolution Saturday.
Houston is 3-2-3 with 12 points and are tied for third in the Eastern Conference with the Columbus Crew (3-1-3). Both teams are two points behind the Philadelphia Union (4-1-1, 13) for second place and three behind the New York Red Bulls (4-1-2, 14) for the conference lead and the best record in the league. Houston meets Toronto FC on the road Saturday.
