ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Rafael Navarro scored a goal Wednesday night, Nico Hansen had his first shutout this season, and the Colorado Rapids beat Minnesota United 1-0 to snap a three-game losing streak.
The Rapids (5-7-1) went into the game winless in five straight and won for the first time since a 6-2 home victory over Houston on April 11.
Hansen finished with two saves.
Navarro opened the scoring in the 26th minute. Navarro outraced the defense to a through ball played ahead by Paxten Aaronson and beat goalkeeper Drake Callender one on one from near the penalty spot to give the Rapids a 1-0 lead.
Callender had one save for Minnesota, which had 55% possession and outshot the Rapids 11-5.
The Rapids haven’t scored multiple goals in a game since a 3-2 loss to Miami at Mile High Stadium on April 18.
Minnesota (6-4-3) had its three-game unbeaten streak snapped and lost for just the second time since it tied the club’s single-game mark for goals conceded and set the record for largest margin of defeat in a 6-0 loss at Vancouver on March 15.
