After tasting unfortunate back-to-back MLS defeats, our Boys in Blue had dropped to seventh spot in the Eastern Conference and the hunt for a crucial three points in Colorado was on.

As City took on the Rapids, they found themselves down 1-0 early in the night, but they refused to back down.

Héber opened up scoring for the NYCFC with the help of his captain for the night, Maxi Moralez, to find the equalizer on the stroke of halftime.

Then, late in the second half, just when it looked like it might not be our night, a screamer from Alexandru Mitriță put the team on top, securing the maximum points.

While facing challenges like altitude, rain, and a 10-men Rapids team, the Boys in Blue came out on top returning to their winning ways and continuing their ascent up the table.
