On a night when the other Western conference results went their way, the Colorado Rapids held up their end of the bargain thanks to two banger goals in the 2-1 win. The mid-week edition of “must-win” Rapids matches got going in Commerce City after a storm blew through on the night, and the Earthquakes took that tone for a late Colorado kickoff.
San Jose had a golden opportunity in the 4th minute, forcing a turnover in the Rapids penalty area. However Ebobisse made a mess of the feed to him at the spot and shanked it out for a goal kick.
