Donavan Phillip scored his third consecutive goal for the Colorado Rapids in a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night. The young midfielder, at just 21 years and 279 days old, broke the club record for the youngest player to achieve such a feat. Earl Edwards Jr. put in a stellar performance for the Earthquakes, making nine saves throughout the match.
Dave Romney was the lone scorer for the Earthquakes, who are now unbeaten in seven consecutive games following a four-game losing streak. Timo Werner delivered a free kick from the right side that found the back post, where Ronaldo Vieira headed the ball back to Romney, who volleyed the ball into the back of the net in the 57th minute.
Phillip headed home a corner kick from Paxten Aaronson to put the Rapids ahead, 1-0, in the 27th minute. Nico Hansen made three saves for Colorado during the game. The next match for San Jose is on Wednesday against Salt Lake, while Colorado will host Minnesota the following Wednesday.
