Colorado Rapids defender Moïse Bombito and Vancouver Whitecaps forward Levonte Johnson in the first half of an MLS soccer match Wednesday, May 15, 2024, in Commerce City, Colo. A pivotal match for the Colorado Rapids is at hand this Saturday against LAFC. While it was unlikely, it could have been the last match of forward Rafael Navarro’s time with the Rapids, as his loan from Brazilian side Palmeiras would have come to an end the day after.
Bombito’s meteoric rise with the Rapids, and now with Canada, has garnered serious interest from European clubs about a potential transfer. Tuesday, both were active in various drills and looked comfortable, though neither looked willing to strain themselves just yet. Chacón has not played yet this season. Stewart-Baynes has amassed 60 minutes over five appearances, recording an assist in a 3-2 win over LAFC at home back in March.Reigning MLS Cup runners-up LAFC has it all. Denis Bouanga is third in the league in scoring with 13 goals and Mateusz Bogusz isn’t far off with nine of his own. Both have double-digit goal contributions so far.
