MLS CAREER

2015

Young Argentine Juan Ramírez had a number of notable records to his name in his first season in MLS. A bizarre breakaway in stoppage time at the end of the 3-1 home win over Real Salt Lake, ultimately proved to be the difference in the battle for the Rocky Mountain Cup.
The slippery attacking midfielder, and Young DP, was the most fouled Rapids player in 2015. He suffered 73 fouls, with Dillon Powers (51) a distant second.
His speed would often be a real threat, and this was highlighted in the 2-0 win at Sporting Kansas City (10/21). Ramírez came off the bench for the final 16 minutes and had a hand in both goals, with two of his three assists for the season.
