Colorado Rapids vs Minnesota United FC 2-2

Colorado Rapids and Minnesota United FC drew 2-2 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park after a match that swung on a red card and a late own goal. Colorado led twice, only for Minnesota to level, and the point was settled by the visitors' own goal in the 83rd minute.

Colorado went ahead in first-half stoppage time when Darren Yapi scored in the 45+1st minute from Keegan Rosenberry's assist, making it 1-0. Yapi had already been booked in the 11th minute. Minnesota levelled on 52 minutes through Kelvin Yeboah, and the Rapids went in 1-0 up at half-time.

The home side's control changed sharply after the break. Colorado made two changes on 60 minutes, sending on Sayed Abu Farkhi and Joshua Atencio, then VAR confirmed a card upgrade for Abu Farkhi in the 67th minute before he was sent off in the 68th minute. Even with 10 men, Colorado regained the lead on 74 minutes when Georgi Minoungou, who had come on in the 70th minute, scored to make it 2-1. Minnesota made three changes on 82 minutes, but two minutes later Loïc Williams Ntambue Kayumba Gironés put through his own net to make it 3-1. Minnesota had the last word in stoppage time only through the scoreline, as their own goal already gave Colorado the cushion that held.

The numbers backed up Colorado's edge. They had 61% of the ball, 508 passes to Minnesota's 327, 14 shots to 11, three on target to two, and 1.98 expected goals to 1.68. Colorado also had seven corners to four, while Minnesota had more offsides, 4-1, and more saves, 2-1.

Colorado's yellow cards went to Darren Yapi in the 11th minute and Miguel Navarro in the 79th minute. Sayed Abu Farkhi was sent off in the 68th minute after VAR confirmed the card upgrade, while Minnesota's only booking went to Owen Gene in the 87th minute.
