Match Recap
Paxten Aaronson settled this Major League Soccer contest before the interval, scoring in the 43rd minute to hand Colorado Rapids a 1-0 win over a CF Montreal side that never looked like finding an equalizer. The goal was the only thing separating two teams moving in very different directions: Montreal arrived having won none of their last five games, sitting on just 21 points after four straight defeats and a draw that offered little comfort. Colorado, now on 35 points, were not exactly in dominant form either, two wins from their previous five, but bank three points here regardless of how they arrived. Aaronson's strike was the decisive act in a tight first half, giving the Rapids just enough to hold on and deny Montreal any foothold. Watch the 43rd-minute finish to see exactly how composedly he picked his moment.
