Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images The Colorado Rapids secured an MLS Cup playoff spot with a 2-0 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday in Commerce City, Colo.
Reggie Cannon and Djordje Mihailovic scored second-half goals as Colorado (15-10-5, 50 points) improved to 10-2-3 at home this season. Colorado keeper Zack Steffen stopped two shots to secure the clean sheet.
Colorado is now 7-1-2 all-time against TFC at home. The two sides played to a scoreless draw in their last matchup in September 2021.
Toronto (11-17-3, 36 points) has just one win in its past four matches and has dropped back-to-back results after its 2-0 loss Wednesday to the defending MLS Cup champion Columbus Crew.
Reds keeper Sean Johnson made six saves in the loss.
Darren Yapi had a great opportunity to give Colorado a 2-0 lead in the 89th minute but was awarded a penalty after a hard challenge from Aime Mabika in the area.
On the ensuing penalty kick, Mihailovic beat Johnson, doubling the Rapids’ lead.
Cannon opened the scoring in the 52nd minute, taking a Yapi cross and one-timing it past a diving Johnson.
Yapi nearly doubled Colorado’s lead in the 70th minute, but he redirected Mihailovic’s cross wide of the goal.
The Rapids had a pair of chances in the 22nd minute.
Cole Bassett’s right-footed shot from just outside the box was stopped by Johnson, and the rebound bounced to Mihailovic, whose header was also stopped by Johnson.
Rafael Navarro nearly opened the scoring in the sixth minute, putting his shot behind Johnson, but Toronto defender Shane O’Neill did an excellent job clearing the ball from the line.
Colorado next travels to Minnesota for a match Sept. 28, while Toronto visits Chicago next Saturday.

WR Tyreek Hill: 'No power' in left leg after surgeries
Sep 29, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) is tended to by medical staff after injuring his leg against the New York Jets during the second half at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Rich Storry-Imagn Images Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill still has “no power” in his surgically repaired left leg, 10 months after undergoing two operations.
The eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro selection posted a workout video on YouTube on Wednesday night, updating his recovery from a dislocated left knee and torn ACL sustained in late September last season.
“My left leg is the one that I injured,” said Hill, 32. “I have no power in my left leg, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it’s one day at a time.”
Hill, who said doctors told him he “might not be able to walk again” after the injury, is seen running and performing a variety of exercises in the video.
With NFL teams starting to report to training camp this week, Hill did not say when he will be ready to get back on the field.
“I ain’t going to tell you what my timeline is, but timeline looking real good right now, man,” Hill said.
The Miami Dolphins released Hill on Feb. 16 in a cost-cutting move after four seasons with the team, making him a free agent for the first time in his career.
Hill caught 21 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown in four games in 2025 before the injury. He has 819 catches for 11,363 yards and 83 TDs in 145 career games for the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21) and Dolphins (2022-25).
