Fc Dallas forced Colorado Rapids to a stalemate last weekend at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, according to Denver Post. Stefan Aigner opened the scoring in the fifteenth minute to put Colorado Rapids ahead. Afterward, things changed in the second half when FC Dallas persistently held possession on Colorado's half and in the process they struck home the equalizer thanks to an Atiba Harris' brilliant finish. Despite settling for a stalemate, Colorado Rapids had already been eliminated from the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs contention. Meanwhile, the result marginally boosted FCD's chances to make the playoffs berth.

Dallas is sixth with forty-three points, while Colorado Rapid is tenth with thirty points.
