Kevin Doyle picked a good time to score his first goal since moving to the US

The former Reading and Wolves striker helped Colorado Rapids pick up a much-needed win last night.

IRELAND STRIKER KEVIN Doyle finally got off the mark in the MLS last night as the Colorado Rapids defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 at home.

Wexford native Doyle, who left Wolves to move to the States as a Designated Player in May, had featured in six matches without scoring but headed home the winner in the second half.

It was only the Rapids’ third league win of the season and they remain rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference. They have the least goals scored in either conference with 14 from 18 matches played.

    A very good squad and really shows the young talent in LOI but would have liked Reghba in there,not sure if he’s officially still LOI though.These supplemented with the likes of Kelleher,Nolan,Masterson,Parrott,Obafemi,Johansson,O’Conno,rConnolly,Idah,Ronan and Doyle-Hayes is exciting!

    @Nic Antonio: A clear indication that Reghba is bound for Leicester? Kenny name-checked him as a home based player that he’d involve.

    What’s the story with the lad who declared for the North there so? Does he just refuse ROI or has he changed his mind again? Strange after declaring there. Nice squad
