Decision Day final whistle. Colorado comes out bright, scoring in the second half, but they concede three late on to end their season. Outside of the first five of the second half, Colorado weren't at the level needed to clinch playoffs. A sour way to end the season.

Former Rapids manager out after two seasons at TFC. It’s hard to see Robin Fraser getting another MLS gig this offseason. He’ll have offers if he wants to be a top assistant, regardless of Greg Vanney’s situation. Maybe take a year off and just be a dad.
Thank you, Robin.
Toronto FC announced today that Robin Fraser has been relieved of his duties as Head Coach of the club.

Colorado Rapids Fall Short on Decision Day as 2026 Season Ends burgundywave.com/2026/11/07/…
Decision Day Thoughts and more as Colorado's season ends in Texas.
Morgan Whittaker on the offseason.
"It's just a time to obviously have a few days of reflection and sort of see what we could have done better and what we have done well, but I think it's just so important to have time with family and use the time that you get off."

Wells on where the Rapids stand.
"I want to go into playoffs with a feeling that we can compete in the playoffs and we can succeed in the playoffs. And I don't have that feeling. We are where we are as a team. We've built some strong foundations."
#Rapids96
Wells on Aaronson's injury.
"We just got to really hope Paxton's going to have to have an X-ray. We have to hope that I'm fearing the worst to be honest. Looking at the size of his ankle, so fingers crossed for Pax."

Matt Wells on the first half tonight.
"We didn't not make the playoffs because of tonight. You know, there's no shame at going to the team second in the league, second in the league for a reason, and for the first time in a long time, getting absolutely dominated."

99' Fulltime from almost everywhere else in the Western Conference. Barring a miracle, Seattle, Portland, and Salt Lake will be in the playoffs.

The dagger from Dallas. Despite the excellent second half start, Colorado concede three. Here's the third one.

Colorado questioned the high boot of Kaick, but it wasn't defended well enough, and Kaick did wonderful to wrap it far corner. Rapids might finish the night in 12th.

92' FC Dallas score once again. It's gone from bad to worse for the Rapids. Despite the 11 minutes of stoppage time, this one seems to be the dagger.

88' Kaick puts what looks to be the hammer and nail on Colorado's season. It's a long ball that falls, and he does the rest, curling it into the far post.

Colorado fails to hold the lead and concedes off a back-post run that fails to get tracked. They need another goal quick.

79' A scary challenge by Logan Farrington on Aaronson, and he is forced off the pitch.

75' FC Dallas finally find their leveler. It's a back post run and a brilliant finish from Valiente. It's not good news for Colorado. They drop back down into 10th place.

69' Petar Musa scores, but it's also called offsides. What a last 20 minutes we are in for here in Frisco.
