Colorado Rapids are in the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs, clinching their spot with Saturday's 2-0 win vs. Toronto FC.
The milestone arrives after Colorado finished bottom of the Western Conference table in 2023, capping a remarkable turnaround campaign under first-year head coach Chris Armas.
Colorado are third in the West (50 points; 15W-10L-5D) as they jostle with LAFC and Real Salt Lake for top-four positioning.
Star players
Brazilian striker Rafael Navarro and offseason signing Djordje Mihailovic (25g/18a combined) lead the attack, while homegrown midfielder Cole Bassett (9g/7a) is enjoying a career-best MLS season.
Former USMNT goalkeeper Zack Steffen also arrived this winter, as did left back Sam Vines. Helping offset center back Moïse Bombito's club-record transfer to Ligue 1 side OGC Nice, Colorado acquired former FC Dallas standout Reggie Cannon earlier this month.
The Rapids' resurgence could produce a second MLS Cup presented by Audi title after the club won in 2010.
