The Frenchman scored a crucial 85th-minute game-tying goal as the Rapids earned a point against Austin FC in a 1-1 tie.“I thought (our tenacity) was excellent,” Rapids head coach Robin Fraser said postgame. “I thought our commitment to sprint, whether to close things down or to run behind was excellent.

The play was good, but the question (about tenacity) is a valid one, because without tenacity, you don’t see the that level of play.”Colorado (0-3-2, 2 points) was the better side on the night finishing with 19 shots, eight on target and four from inside the 18-yard box, and likely would’ve scored more if it weren’t for Austin FC goalkeeper Brad ...
