COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Defender Reggie Cannon scored midway through the second half with an ******* ist from Youssef Maziz in his MLS debut, and Nico Hansen was stellar in goal as the Colorado Rapids beat Sporting Kansas City 2-0 on Saturday night.
Colorado (8-10-1) played with a man advantage after a red card on Sporting KC midfielder Kwaku Agyabeng in the 38th minute.
Cannon took a pass from Maziz in the 65th minute to score his first goal this season with a header and give Colorado a 1-0 lead. Cannon's netter was his fourth in 111 appearances. Maziz entered in the 56th minute before providing the spark.
Hansen turned away three shots on goal for Colorado (8-10-1). Hansen has four clean sheets in 10 starts this season and seven in 20 career starts.
Rafael Navarro capped the scoring in the fifth minute of stoppage time after Sporting KC defender Moisés Mosquera exited with a red card three minutes earlier. Navarro's 10th goal of the campaign came with an ******* ist from Paxten Aaronson. All six of Aaronson's career ******* ists have come this season after making 44 appearances without one. Mosquera was hit with two yellow cards in a four-minute span.

OH Leuven have once again changed manager to start the season. Felice Mazzu is out, with former Dender and Westerlo man Timmy Simons coming in. Can he finally help a side with a decent financial backing live up to its potential? Or will Leicester City's relegation from the second tier of English football diverted attention away from OH Leuven and towards the struggling foxes?
Transfers in: Emmanuel Addai (Qarabag), Jamie Lawrence (WSG Tirol), Takuya Ogiwara (Urawa Red Diamonds), Shin Yamada (Celtic), Dani van den Heuvel (Club Brugge), Lukasz Lakomy (Young Boys, converted loan)
Transfers out: Romeo Monticelli (Francs Borains), Casper Terho (Sparta Rotterdam), Takuma Ominami (Varen Nagasaki), Sory Kaba (Al-Dhafra), Takahiro Akimoto (Machida Zelvia), Theo Radelet (RAAL La Louviere), Youssef Maziz (Colorado), Mathieu Maertens (free), Maxence Prevot (Dunkerque)
Key player: Siebe Schrijvers
As a younger player, Schijvers was seen as a striker/winger, but in recent years he has converted into a very good central midfielder. The 30-year-old has been OH Leuven's best player for a number of years now, and will once again be key to their success this season. Injuries hampered him somewhat last season, with 30 games played and three goals scored. Keeping Schrijvers fit is key for an OH Leuven side that doesn't have much recognisable Pro League quality.
