Player Ratings: Colorado Plays San Jose to Frustrating 1-1 Draw
Commerce City, Colo.- The Rapids returned to MLS play after the international break with a home match against San Jose. Coming into the break, Colorado had some work to be done, giving up two leads and dropping points in the playoff race. The match against San Jose was a critical one for Colorado. Donavan Phillip opened the scoring in the 27th minute, before Colorado continued to pile on the pressure with Paxten Aaronson, Sayed Abu Farkhi, and Morgan Whittaker.

Matt Wells says the club was looking at another international player during the transfer window. But that likely would have limited Donavan Phillip the rest of the season (INT slot, or moved to the bench). Decided to not make that move. Phillip is flying with 3 goals in 3.

Colorado Rapids 1, San Jose Earthquakes 1: - Phillip sets club record, Aaronson cooks - Georgi Minoungou subbed on then off - A better performance but still didn't win as Rob Holding hosts a players meeting on the field burgundywave.com/2026/10/10/d...

Colorado Rapids captain Rob Holding said the team has been having player meetings on how to react to conceding goals. They're trying to react better to that and try different things. They did so on the field after the San Jose goal tonight.

Burgundy Wave @burgundywave.bsky.social · 16h
Yeah. Had an observation in the recap if you haven’t read it yet. Not sure how to feel about it. But it’s felt for awhile that Georgi’s not going to be a starter once all the new signings are up to speed.

Rob Holding says he's not contemplating his future with 6 games left in the Rapids regular season. He's not in a rush to decide his future. He enjoys living in Denver.

Matt Wells on subbing Minoungou on then off: I was in a tough spot on the bench. I wanted to get Ibrahim in. The guys on the front line were performing well. Wanted to win the game. Thought leaving the others on would help with that. Tough one for Georgi still.

Paxten Aaronson: "I've come into a bit of good form recently... It's just a mindset thing going into each game. I have the confidence of the previous game, knowing that I'm just going to deliver a goal, an assist every game. Still, I leave that game wanting more."

Frustration: Rapids Draw San Jose Despite Donavan Phillip Header
Commerce City, Colo. - It was another frustrating ending for Colorado Rapids after scoring first. On Saturday night, they hosted San Jose Earthquakes. This team continues to befuddle and be mid. Matt Wells' lineup was about as expected. The one exception was Hamzat Ojediran being on the bench with Wayne Frederick II and Josh Atencio starting. Rob Holding was captain. Ibrahim Sadiq was on the bench for his first game available.

Burgundy Wave @burgundywave.bsky.social · 18h
Final. Colorado Rapids 1. San Jose Earthquakes 1. A draw seems fair. It could easily have been more than 1-1. Pids were in cruise control. Romney found a goal. Then it turned into a basketball game the last 20 minutes. Disappointing result for Colorado given how they started.

90+3' Quakes goal but Bouda is called offside. Found space between the center backs. Good call though. 1-1 | #Rapids96

Burgundy Wave @burgundywave.bsky.social · 18h
86' Wayne Frederick off the post! Another wide open header at the back post. It's been a shooting gallery the last 15 minutes. Should be at least 2-2. 1-1 | #Rapids96
020
Burgundy Wave @burgundywave.bsky.social · 18h
83' Rapids triple sub: Hamzat, Yapi, and Ibrahim Sadiq on. Sadiq makes his debut. Sayed, Atencio, and Minoungou off. Georgi Minoungou himself was a sub in the 58th. Matt Wells was not happy with him a few minutes ago. Not great. 1-1 | #Rapids96

Burgundy Wave @burgundywave.bsky.social · 18h
76' Should be 1-2. Quakes shot. Hansen saves but the rebound is crossed in. Could have been a tap in. Better look than Sayed Abu Farkhi a few minutes ago. 1-1 | #Rapids96

70' Abu Farkhi so close! Minoungou does well getting forward. Crosses into the six. Sayed slides to try and score but just misses the ball. His first real look at goal tonight. About ready for Ibrahim Sadiq to make his debut. 1-1 | #Rapids96

57' Goal Quakes. Dave Romney. Short free kick. Sent far post. Headed back to the middle. Volley. Well struck by the defender. Tie game. And Colorado had been excellent through 55 minutes. 1-1 | #Rapids96

Per Rapids Comms, Donavan Phillip is the youngest Colorado Rapids player to score a goal in three consecutive games. Age 21 years, 279 days. Beats out Jonathan Lewis who was 22 at the time.

46' Miguel Navarro gets forward. Centering ball. Can't connect to Whittaker. Aaronson with a big run up, smashes it, big save. 1-0 | #Rapids96

Halftime. Colorado Rapids 1. San Jose Earthquakes 0. Judd has a goal called offside. Phillip scores on a header. Game play has predictable. Quakes compact behind the ball. Rapids trying to create space. Not many shot attempts. Lets's see if things open up in the second half.

Four goals in five games for Phillip if you include his two matches with St. Lucia over the international break.

Paxten Aaronson on a corner to Donavan Phillip at the back post. Textbook. Six goal contributions in 6 games for Aaronson. Three goals in 3 for Phillip. Both player are FLYING for Colorado Rapids!

Rapids Return from International Break Against Western Conference Foe- Rapids vs San Jose Preview
Commerce City, CO– The Colorado Rapids (11-3-13, 7th West) return from their two-week break to face Western Conference foe San Jose Earthquakes (13-6-8, 4th West) at home. The Rapids may still have a sour taste in their mouths after their last MLS game, but it won’t be for the last time San Jose comes to Colorado. The Rapids beat San Jose 2-0 in the US Open Cup quarterfinal in May.

Morgan Whittaker Interview: “It was Time to Move Away.”
Commerce City, Colo. - The Colorado Rapids were busy with additions to the roster in September, that’s for sure. With new Midfielder Youseff Aziz going down with a leg injury early in his time here, Head Coach Matt Wells needed an offensive spark after sending Dante Sealy to Montreal in recent times as well. Morgan Whittaker, an Englishman like Wells, has answered that call from the opening whistle.

Evanston, Ill. - Sunday afternoon. An afternoon kickoff with a small crowd at the unconventional Martin Stadium on the campus of Northwestern University.
