Rapids beat Toronto FC 2-0 after taking early lead

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Jack Price saw his chance and he went for it.

Price scored his first career MLS goal in the second minute to help the Colorado Rapids beat Toronto FC 2-0 on Saturday.

“I saw a gap and I just thought: ‘I’m going to hit this,’” Price said. “I don’t usually do that much, I usually just keep the ball. But it went in. I was very happy and it was a good start for the lads.”

Price gave the Rapids (2-1-2) the lead about 80 seconds into the match, intercepting Drew Moor’s attempted clearance just outside the penalty arc and sending back a knuckling right-footed shot that beat goalkeeper Clint Irwin.
