Sporting KC battles Colorado Rapids to scoreless draw (The Blue Testament)

SKC had to feel a little déjà vu with some early defensive miscues leading to a goal. Darren Yapi scored his first goal, or at least he thought he had scored.

There were a couple of situations that he got into where bodies were colliding everywhere and he found a way to stay in the game. Also, the other thing too, the physicality that he had to stay in the game. The first save he made and then the other one where Cole kind of came in, that play was a hard ball for him because the space closed down really quickly. John did a really good job anticipating the space so he closed him down quickly so there was no way to get around him. Unlike the goal in Portland, the Colorado goal was disallowed after a VAR check. The Rapids expected goals was 1.7 versus .7 for Sporting KC, reflecting the lack of quality chances despite the number of shots. Obviously I cannot say it was or was not a goal from that type of measurement here...— SoccerPhotogrammetry AKA "A Nice Gentleman" (@OffsideModeling) With the score still level, another scary moment for the visitors occurred when a ball came through the box after John Pulskamp and Yapi collided. Colorado was routed by the [Seattle Sounders](https://www.sounderatheart.com) 4-0 last Sunday. Sporting KC outshot Colorado 17-13 and 11-4 on goal but the majority of shots SKC put on frame were also directly to Colorado keeper William Yarbrough. “There are times when they don’t get any shots and then they get one and they have to make a save to keep us in the game,” Vermes continued. SKC manager Peter Vermes made one change to the starting lineup, replacing Khiry Shelton with Marinos Tzionis on the right side.

Colorado Rapids Draw Sporting KC Scoreless After Darren Yapi ... (Burgundy Wave)

Rapids come out of the gates but SKC survives. The officiating puzzled. Yarbrough shines.

The call on the field was already going to stand. It sure looked that way” was the most tactful way Fraser could put it in the press conference. Lalas Abubakar was given a short leash with a yellow card in the opening minutes. The ball bounced along the goal line, but was ruled to have stayed out. We need to be solid, the whole team defensively. Alan Chapman went to the monitor and ruled Yapi offside. Robin Fraser will be disappointed with the drop off in the second half. John came up big in the game when he needed to. It was a good performance, but a disappointing result on a freezing night at the Richard. Cole Bassett fed a through ball to the striker who ran in on goal John Pulskamp came off his line and made a point blank save. “John did a really good job anticipating the space. He had another great chance minutes later, stretching out to send the ball wide of goal.
