Mass scuffles broke out in Colorado's win over Minnesota after Tommy Smith celebrated Rapids' second in front of the opposition bench.

A mass brawl soured Colorado Rapids' 2-0 win over Minnesota United with two red cards shown in injury time.

There had only been three yellow cards shown in a game low on incident before former Ipswich defender Tommy Smith netted Colorado's second of the game in the seventh minute of injury time.

But his goading celebrations in front of the home fans - and bench - prompted a reaction from the Minnesota coaching staff, leading to a mass brawl.

Referee Guido Gonzales consulted VAR before sending off Smith and Minnesota substitute Harrison Heath - in the 14th minute of added time - for their part in the incident.

The result moves Colorado seven points clear of the bottom of the Western Conference, nine points behind Minnesota who ninth out of 12.
