Tacoma Defiance 2:1 Colorado Rapids 2 — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Mark Bronnik scored once and created the winner as Tacoma Defiance beat Colorado Rapids 2 2-1 in MLS Next Pro. The home side took the lead through Bronnik early in the first half but were then forced to defend for long periods against a Rapids 2 side that dominated possession and chances.

The match turned decisively in the 73rd minute when Jasper Winslow was sent off for Tacoma Defiance, leaving them to survive the final quarter of an hour with ten men. Bronnik had opened the scoring from Rafael Jauregui's assist on 30 minutes, Edson Carli doubled the lead on 52 minutes, and although Sydney Wathuta pulled one back for Colorado on 75 minutes, Tacoma held on.

Colorado outshot Tacoma 15-10, held 58% possession to 42%, and won eight corners to one, yet the Defiance were more clinical. xG was almost identical at 1.97 for Tacoma against 2.01 for Colorado, and after a first half Tacoma shaded 53-47 in possession, the second half was entirely one-sided at 73-27 in the Rapids' favour. Mark Bronnik was the standout with an 8.6 rating, a goal from midfield, and the composure to see out the win despite the red card. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Tacoma Defiance and the result confirmed it, though the live flow suggested Colorado had more than enough to take something.
