Khano Smith's New England Revolution missed a glut of chances during their 1-0 defeat to Colorado Rapids on a rain drenched Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.

Smith, who started on the right of midfield, created Revs' best opportunity with a cross for Kenny Mansally, who saw his header pushed onto the post by Rapids 'keeper Bouna Coundoul.

Rapids midfielder Nick LaBrocca's first career goal midway through the second half was enough for the visiting Rapids to secure victory.

The Revs will be on the road for their next match on Saturday when they will meet the New York Red Bulls at Giants Stadium.
