For those who Bleed Burgundy

At the half: Rapids find their attack, lead 1-0

The Rapids have finally come out looking like the home team in the first half at DSGP, and lead at the half 1-0 vs rivals Fake Salt Lake. The back four are pushing much farther up the pitch, a welcome adjustment by Gary Smith. The standout player of the half for me is Kimura, who made a handful of great runs on the right. In fact the goal off the forehead of LaBrocca, assist Clark, was the result of a buildup started by a Kimura run.

Other notes
- the GK carousel continues as Pickens returns in goal
- a two footed challenge by a FSL player against Casey resulted in a red card, so the Rapid have a man advantage the rest of the game
