Miguel Tapias scored in the 82nd minute to rally Minnesota United to a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night.

Neither team scored until Cole Bassett found the net in the 49th minute to give Colorado (0-3-1) a 1-0 lead. It was the Rapids' first goal of the season. Only the 2015 Rapids and Toronto (2007) have gone scoreless in four matches to open a season.
