Rapids Control Play in 0-0 at LAFC to Earn First Point at BMO Stadium

The draw exposed LAFC's blunt attack during a packed run of 15 games in 64 days.

Overview

  • Colorado, which visited BMO Stadium on Wednesday, drew 0-0 with LAFC after holding roughly three quarters of the ball.
  • It was the Rapids' first point at the venue after nine straight losses there, a stretch in which they were outscored 26-2.
  • Hugo Lloris kept LAFC level with sharp first-half saves on Rafael Navarro and Dante Sealy as the hosts failed to register a shot before the break.
  • Zack Steffen needed only one save for Colorado's second shutout of the season, while LAFC's league form slipped to 0-2-1 during this congested spell.
  • Under coach Matt Wells, Colorado leaned on a control-first style with 72% possession and a 789–301 edge in passes, yet their end product stayed limited with under 0.5 expected goals.
