74' Goal Galaxy. Haak scores off the corner. An all-time collapse from the Colorado Rapids. This is unreal 3-2 Galaxy

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

66' Galaxy equalize. An all-time howler from Nico Hansen. João Klauss pounces. YIKES 2-2

120

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

53' Galaxy get one back: João Klauss will take credit, but looks like Reggie Cannon puts in an own goal on a set piece. VAR checked for offside on the initial ball from the free kick but nothing doing. Another mentality question to be answered in final 30 minutes.

39' GOAL COLORADO! Paxten "Michael Jackson" Aaronson gets on the sheet! Really good strength and body control to receive and keep that ball from Rob Holding. The Rapids are flying! 2-0 Rapids

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

4' GOAL COLORADO! Donavan Phillip goes 2 for 2!! Good play from the back, Josh Atencio trivelas it to Phillip, who times his run perfectly, and the rookie rifles it top bins! What a start! 1-0 Rapids

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

FINAL: KC Current 4, Denver Summit FC 1. Haley Hopkins hat trick after Heaps got her third of the season to start the match. Huge hit to Summit's playoff hopes. Denver's 4 points out of a playoff spot, but 2 of final 4 games are against the teams right above.

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

GOAL KC Current: After review, Temwa Chawinga is deemed onside and her goal counts. Incredible pass into her. It's 4-1 Current over Denver Summit FC

000

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

57' GOAL CURRENT: It's a hat trick for Haley Hopkins. Denver Summit hit on the counter by the blistering speed of Temwa Chawinga just moments after Lindsey Heaps nearly equalized. Chawinga, a cheat code, lays it off for Hopkins and it's an easy finish. 3-1 Current

000

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

47' Oh no. Haley Hopkins scores for KC Current right out of the break. Miscommunication between Gaetino, Smith and Sonis and Hopkins scores a relatively tough one even with Smith off her line. Rough start to the half for Summit. 2-1 Current

000

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

HALF: Denver Summit FC 1, KC Current 1. Denver came out swinging, then fell behind the mark thanks to KC's incredible press. Still anyone's game. Denver needs answers to break the pressure.

000

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Just incredibly hard for Summit FC to get the ball out of its own half. KC's pressure is suffocating. That's why they're 29 unbeaten at home.

000

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

39' GOAL CURRENT: Hopkins pokes it past Abby Smith on a short cross at the near post. KC's pressure has stepped up in the past 10-15 minutes. VAR took a look but goal stands. 1-1

000

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

VAR confirmed the penalty and Debinha is SAVED! Abby Smith proves ball don't lie! Denver Summit stay on top.

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

32' Penalty! Ayo Oke pulls Temwa Chawinga down in the box during a footrace for the byline. A bit soft imo. Chawinga took a big touch and arguably wasn't gonna get to it. Both were jostling for position before Chawinga fell. VAR taking a look

000

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

12' GOAL SUMMIT!! Some more good passing play, this time from the left. Bounces off a couple players and falls to Lindsey Heaps. Takes a touch to open the keeper up and she passes it in for Summit's opening goal. A potentially HUGE goal in Denver's playoff hopes. 1-0 Summit

000

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Wonderful interplay from Denver Summit FC to get a good look for Janine Sonis at the far side of the box for a right-footed one-time shot. She's scored so many of those this year but didn't get that one right.

Sayed Abu Farkhi got the start today for Israel against Austria after debuting for the senior team in June. He gets a yellow card in the 51st minute. Not sure what for. Scores an equalizer in the 55th minute, then is sent off for excessive celebration.

Denver Summit FC's latest lesson was in how to handle a lead. After blowing two straight two-goal leads, it naturally had another against Seattle Reign. Denver had some nervy moments, but pulled out a 2-1 win. The NWSL playoff race is razor-thin. rockymountainsoccerjournal.com/summit-fc-ho...

FINAL: Denver Summit FC survives! A couple nervy moments only up a goal in the final moments, including a free kick right at the edge of the area with 90 seconds remaining. It's blocked and the match is played out. Summit FC picks up a HUGE three points. 2-1 Summit

050

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

54' GOAL REIGN: Abby Smith makes a rare error and mishandles a cross. Her drop falls kindly to Brittany Ratcliffe, who tucks it away easily. A hiccup on an otherwise really positive night. Summit has turned last two games from 2-goal leads to draws. Will hope to not do the same.

000

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

50' GOAL SUMMIT! It's Tash Flint this time. Without Melissa Kössler or Olivia Thomas on the field, she's playing a sort of false 9 tonight. She carries a ball across goal and absolutely blasts a shot from 15 yards out into the top netting. Her 6th of the year. 2-0 Summit

030

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

47' A dust-up as Yazmeen Ryan and Seattle's Sofia Huerta get into it while racing for a ball. Huerta took Ryan down in open space and Ryan took issue with it -- gets down to yell in her face. Huerta walks away with a yellow. Halftime shortly after. 1-0 Summit FC

001

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

44' GOAL SUMMIT! Delanie Sheehan floats one in from the right side of the box, kisses the left post and it bounces in. Don't think that was a shot, but Summit FC will take what they can get. They've been the more threatening team all night. Her second goal of the year. 1-0 DEN

One note as to why C38 has a separate forum is that for ease of access for everyone involved the club likes to have these forums right before home games. But for C38 the center of our culture is the tailgate which is at its height right before home games. So the separate forum works for both sides

FINAL: The Colorado Rapids have been emphatically knocked out of the U.S. Open Cup in the semifinal by St. Louis CITY, 3-0. In the span of three seasons, the Rapids have been embarrassed in two cup semifinals, the last being at LAFC in the 2024 Leagues Cup (4-0).

52' Goal St. Louis. Simon Becher joins the fun. Rob Holding is beat to a ball on the right wing by Conrad Wallem, who lays it off to Becher and it's a training ground finish. 2-0 St. Louis

32' Goal St. Louis. Howler of all howlers by Adam Beaudry. Bad first touch after getting some pressure and he gives it to Jeong Sang-Bin. Rapids are appealing to the ref about something but this goal should stand. Brutal.

030

Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal @rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Humongous save from Adam Beaudry there. The absolute last thing the Rapids can do is concede early like that. Colorado has still yet to draw or win after conceding first this year.
