Celebrating a win
Colorado controlled long stretches against Columbus and got a 0ne-goal win for it.
The Thursday night victory marked the first time the Rapids had been in the playoffs since 2006, and the first home playoff win since 2004. It was also the night that Dick’s Sporting Goods Park (opened in 2007) finally got to host a playoff game.
While the Omar Cuammings-to-Conor Casey-to-Pablo Mastroeni was the only strike to find home on the night, here’s a look at some memorable moments from the evening.

And there were moments of low-flying action, such as when Conor Casey made an appeal for a foul. His calls for a whistle were rarely successful. (Photograph by Jonathan Ingraham/Coloradosoccernow.com)
Then there was the 25th minute goal to celebrate. As Pablo Mastroeni clutches a souvenir after finding the roof of the goal, Wells Thompson, Marvell Wynne and Anthony Wallace revel. (Photograph by Jessica Taves/Coloradosoccernow.com)
