Navarro, Steffen propel Rapids to 1
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Rafael Navarro scored on a penalty kick after Vancouver’s Bjørn Inge Utvik drew a red card during first-half stoppage time and Zack Steffen made it stand up as the Rapids beat the Whitecaps 1-0 on Wednesday night.
Utvik, a rookie defender making his fourth start and sixth appearance, drew a hand ball foul following a video review. Navarro converted the PK in the fifth minute of stoppage time with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner of the net.
Navarro is 4 for 4 on penalty kicks this season. He has scored in three straight matches and has seven goals and two assists. The 24-year-old forward had a goal and an assist in 10 appearances — all starts — last season, his first in the league.
Steffen finished with two saves for his third clean sheet of the season for Colorado (6-4-3).
Yohei Takaoka saved two shots for Vancouver (5-4-3).
