Rapids fail to recover from early goal.
The Kansas City Wizards defeated the Colorado Rapids, 3-1, on Wednesday night at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City defeated Colorado for the third consecutive time in three meetings this season, having now outscored the Rapids 11-1 in those three games. Gaining control of the ball 30 yards from goal, Preki placed the ball in front of a racing Zavagnin, who split the Colorado defense and fired the ball past Rapids goalkeeper David Kramer into the upper, left corner of the net. Despite surrendering the early goal, the Rapids actually enjoyed a good amount of possession in the first half, resulting in two good scoring chances for Paul Bravo, who took five shots before half time. In the 28th minute, Junior Agogo crossed from the right flank to Bravo, who fired a right-footed volley directly into the chest of Tony Meola.
