The Colorado Rapids and LAFC faced off in their first MLS regular season matchup of 2025 on Wednesday night at BMO Stadium, a significant clash after their two prior meetings earlier this year in the Concacaf Champions Cup. Those encounters ended 2-2 on aggregate, but LAFC advanced on away goals[1][2]. This was the third meeting between the teams in 2025, but the first in league play after a reschedule due to LAFC’s participation in the FIFA Club World Cup[1][2].

Kickoff took place at 8:30 p.m. MT, with the game broadcast on MLS Season Pass and other platforms. The Rapids entered the match on the heels of a disappointing 2-1 home loss to Sporting KC, which marked their second consecutive Fourth of July defeat to Kansas City. Despite commanding 67% possession and generating 24 shots with 8 on target (for 4.07 expected goals), Colorado could not secure the win[2].

Key players for the Rapids included midfielder Djordje Mihailovic, who has been particularly effective against LAFC, contributing four goals and one assist in five matches versus LAFC across all competitions. He was also instrumental in the earlier Concacaf Champions Cup encounters, scoring a brace in the first leg[1][6]. Returning defender Reggie Cannon was available for the trip after serving a suspension[6].

Both clubs entered the match with 26 points in the Western Conference, LAFC with a 7-5-5 record (7th place) and Colorado at 7-9-5 (9th place). Notably, the Rapids have never won at BMO Stadium, a record they were hoping to break in this fixture[1][2]. Recent form for both teams saw LAFC with three wins in their last five matches, while Colorado had two victories and two draws over the same stretch[5].

For those seeking to watch the game, a live stream was available on July 10, 2025, as the matchup drew significant anticipation among fans[3].
