On a night where other MLS results put pressure on the Colorado Rapids to win, their hottest players came up big to do it.

After being outscored 8-1 in two matches against the Portland Timbers this season, the Rapids got their get-back at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Saturday with a 2-1 win in front of 16,038 fans.

Jonathan Lewis got the Rapids on the scoreboard in the 14th minute after a string of short passes around Portland’s box got deflected and fell right to Lewis around the penalty spot. He took a touch and buried it past Timbers goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau for his third goal in MLS this season.

With the goal, he tied Mark Chung for 10th in club career goals with 26.

David Ayala responded for Portland just 10 minutes later with a tap in at the back post on a free header after the initial corner kick was flicked onto Ayala, who was wide open.

Though the game was played open for most of the way, neither team could break through in the final third until winger Calvin Harris was maliciously tackled in the 70th minute on the right wing 40 yards out from goal. Midfielder Djordje Mihailovic, who was credited with the assist on Lewis’ goal, floated a perfect ball to forward Rafael Navarro, who headed home his 14th goal of the year.
