Navarro scores 94th-minute penalty, lifts Colorado Rapids over Austin FC 1-0
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) --- Rafael Navarro converted a 94th-minute penalty to
lift the Colorado Rapids to a 1-0 win over Austin FC on Saturday.
The winner came after Przemys?aw P?acheta, who entered late for Austin, fouled
Navarro in the box during stoppage time. Navarro stepped to the spot and buried
the penalty, keeping Austin winless on the road this year.
Colorado generated better chances for much of the night, repeatedly testing
goalkeeper Brad Stuver and threatening from set pieces. Austin created several
opportunities through Brandon Vzquez, Myrto Uzuni and Facundo Torres, but
could not find a breakthrough.
Stuver helped keep the match scoreless deep into the second half before
Colorado finally capitalized in the closing moments.
Defender Keegan Rosenberry made his 200th appearance for the Rapids.
