Philadelphia Union beat Colorado Rapids 3-1: - Bassett frustrated: "We stopped playing." - A late collapse despite Steffen saves - Critical moments in transition burgundywave.com/2025/07/26/mik…

Cole Bassett on Kévin Cabral being waived: Very tough. One of the best human beings I've ever met. Never seen a guy smile more. He had a true quality of speed & relentlessness to get in behind. I wish it worked here. I would have loved to help him earn more goals & assists.

Cole Bassett: It frustrates me that we stopped playing in the second half. 4-5 results this game. we stop doing the things that get us the lead. It's like playing prevent defense. It's really annoying me.

Chris Armas says Connor Ronan will be out a few more weeks, maybe 1-2 with the ankle injury. Josh Atencio took a knee injury that saw him subbed off. Will have that looked at.

One shot in the second half is not great, especially with the amount of counter-attacking chances Colorado had. Colorado finished the game with 0.62 xG. Union with 4.3 xG. The Rapids will go to Leagues Cup looking for a response. #Rapids96

Fulltime. 3-1. Colorado crumbled after going into halftime up one. The Union deserved it. Colorado was not very good. Philadelphia shows why they now lead in the Eastern Conference. Disappointing for Colorado. #Rapids96

95' Goal Union. Uhre again. Game. 3-1 | #Rapids96

93' That was the chance! Yapi holds the ball up and gives it to Cole. His cross in finds Rafa but the Brazilian doesn't know much about it, and his header is wide. 2-1 | #Rapids96

90+ 6 minutes of stoppage time. Colorado will now have to find a goal to get anything from this game. 2-1 | #Rapids96

89' Union goal. Uhre. Shot from outside the box hits the post and goes in. Deserved. 2-1 | #Rapids96

88' Chance Union. Makhanya decides that he is Messi, dribbles a few Rapids players before playing Wagner out wide. Wagner's cross finds Makhanya again, but his shot is high and wide. 1-1 | #Rapids96

85' Yellow card for Baribo. Discent. 1-1 | #Rapids96

83' Final sub for the Rapids. Sam Bassett on for Ted Ku-DiPietro. It will be only three subs of the five allowed for a second straight game. 1-1 | #Rapids96

80' Should have been two for Philadelphia. Lukic is played through, looks offside, isn't, but his shot is wide. Should have been 2-1. 1-1 | #Rapids96

78' Yellow for Colorado. Broadcast says it's Steffen. 1-1 | #Rapids96

74' Rapids sub. Darren Yapi comes on for Calvin Harris. Let's see if it's Yapi hour in Philadelphia. 1-1 | #Rapids96

69' Shocking minute from the referee. Rafa gets hit in the face, no call. Wagner then misplaces a pass, goes down with no contact, and the ref calls it. Yellow for Cannon, as well. Dangerous set piece for the Union now. Ends up being nothing. 1-1 | #Rapids96

64' Union goal. It's off a corner. It's a short one, and the ball from Wagner is perfect. Baribo looks to get the final touch on the back post. Tough to give up for Colorado. 1-1 | #Rapids96

62' Save Steffen. Quinn Sullivan takes a shot from the right side of the box. Steffen is there again. 0-1 | #Rapids96
