The Colorado Rapids finished the second half of a scoreless draw with the Portland Timbers on Wednesday and have now won just one of their last 11 home league matches this season (W6 D4).

The Colorado Rapids have failed to score in 12 of its MLS matches this season, including five of the last six, equaling the CF Montreal Impact for the most goalless performances in this MLS season. Last season, the Colorado Rapids failed to score only six times all year, with just six teams being shut out less often.

The Houston Dynamo FC attempted 34 shots in its 3-0 loss to Minnesota United FC on Wednesday, the most it’s taken in a match without scoring in club history. Only one team has attempted more shots in a match this season without finding the net: Sporting Kansas City against the Los Angeles Galaxy in March (30).
