This nil-nil draw won’t hardly be meaningful for either of these teams down the road: Dallas, and specifically Kellyn Acosta and Michael Barrios, really should have put one in the back of the net, but both kept shooting it right at Tim Howard. The Rapids earned a hard-fought point on the road at a time when a hard-fought point on the road is almost totally irrelevant: the team needs wins, not draws. The process of ‘going out with a whimper, and not a bang’ continues.
If the game is memorable for anything, it’s that it was the first Rapids game in history to be significantly impacted by VAR - Video Assisted Refereeing.
