In a match that started with fireworks on the pitch and on the scoreboard, ended with a loud boom off the foot of Marco Pappa to lift the Colorado Rapids to a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy.
This was a very physical match. Tackles and yellow cards were flying. Some were justified fouls, others were not. I think the physicalness of it really challenged this and for the most part wasn't pretty soccer.
The Galaxy had their opportunities, but only managed one shot on goal. The Rapids managed to get eight shots on goal, topping last weeks effort.
