  Speaker 1: Good evening, Rapids fans.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Welcome in. I'm Connor Cape, joined by Drew Moore, Christian Perez,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Jesse Trujillo, bringing you Colorado Rapids soccer on the Altitude
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Radio Network, where tonight your Burgundy boys are in the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: capital of Texas, Austin, at Q2 Stadium to take on
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Austin FC. It will be the second of two regular
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: season meetings between the two Western Conference foes. The Rapids
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: won the first one at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: a 1-0 affair. Aronson takes the ball. Lifts it up
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: for Yappie at the penalty spot. Comes down. Can't get
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: a shot off as it was bouncing high.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Follow-up shot. It's going to bounce in off the near post.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: We were just talking about him. Paxton Aronson from outside
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the box. And the Rapids' current leading goal scorer finds
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: another one. And the Rapids score first on the road
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: at Q2 Stadium in the 22nd minute.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: There's going to be opportunities to get that second and
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: bury Austin FC. But do you have the gumption to
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: do it? What a ball from Atencio. Out to the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: right wing for Georgie. Georgie knocks it across the face
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: of goal. Yappie tracks it down at the near side
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of the box. Rolls it back to Aronson. Aronson in
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the 18! What a save by Stuber. Fingertip save by Stuber.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Or else it was curling into the back of the net.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: The ruining corner kicks with this. The ruining set pieces
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: with this. Absolutely ruining them. And it is so aggravating
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to watch. as a broadcaster, as a fan, as a player,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: as a coach. They stop every corner kick before they
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: even start. They waste 30 seconds going in there to say, hey,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: quit pushing and shoving. Which is what set pieces are, Connor.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: It's a physical game. It's a contact sport. And then
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: they blow the whistle and then foul right away. It's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: like just blow the whistle the first time and don't
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: even bother going through the motions of kicking the ball.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: It is absolutely ruining set pieces. It is so dumb.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: It's funny, too, because you know the defending team is
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: always asking for.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh. 1-1. Facundo Torres, header from the top of the box.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Good cross in, good header. You did have this match
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: in your control, and not being able to see it
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: out is frustrating. Yep, against a team below you on
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the table, out of a playoff spot. It wasn't necessarily
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a hostile environment. I don't even know if the stadium
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: was half full tonight at any point. I mean, this
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: was an opportunity to get three. You score it first.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You get the point. You're happy. You take the result.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Now you come home and you get Montreal in a
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: three-game homestand. That includes semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: which we'll have all three of these games for you
• 2:46
