AUSTIN, Texas — Rafael Navarro scored in the 18th minute and Zack Steffen had four saves to help the Colorado Rapids beat Austin FC 1-0.

Colorado (1-0-2) had just 40% possession and was outshot 21-6, but the Rapids had four shots on target and Austin had just one. Brad Stuver had two saves for Austin (1-2-0).
