Techera, who had his first career hat trick on Saturday, opened the scoring in the 17th minute. Reyna, at the top of the box, tapped it to Techera on the right side. He clutched as defender Tommy Smith slid by and ripped a left-footer just inside the near post.

Reyna first-timed a half-volley off Smith into the net to double the advantage in the 39th. Alphonso DaviesB次元官网网址� cross deflected off two defenders to Reyna for the finish from near the spot.

ColoradoB次元官网网址檚 Edgar Castillo blasted a rising left-footer from well outside the area to make it 2-1 in the 41st minute.

B次元官网网址淎 very tough game but weB次元官网网址檙e obviously delighted in there. The guys in my locker room put a lot of effort in and if you put the work in you get the rewards.B次元官网网址�
