Adalberto Carrasquilla
After a couple scoreless draws, the MLS portion of the Desert Showcase ended with a bang.
The Houston Dynamo scored late to beat the Colorado Rapids 3-2 on Saturday afternoon at Kino North Stadium. Dynamo midfielder Adalberto Carrasquilla, fresh from national team duty with Panama, scored the game-winner just before the match ended.
On Thursday, Houston played a closed-door match against Real Salt Lake, drawing 1-1.
“Overall both groups did a decent job I think,” said Houston coach Paulo Nagamura. “We played a very, very quality side, very well coached side by Robin…I think it was a step forward from the last game we had against Real Salt Lake.”
In the sixth minute, Colorado Rapids forward Diego Rubio ended the Desert Showcase’s scoreless drought with a goal.
Colorado coach Robin Fraser said Tucson’s a place that’s “really good for us.”
“The whole trip has been really good for us,” Fraser said. “This is a place where we really enjoy coming.
“The fields are in fantastic condition and the weather is — well it’s a little chillier than we would have like but it’s certainly not as chilly as Denver.”
