49’ Love the presence of mind and body of Donavan Phillip to aerially box out the Galaxy defender there and head the ball backwards to Whittaker. #LAvCOL

HALFTIME: LA 0 | 2 COL

Don't even know how to begin to analyze this half of soccer. Galaxy are objectively bad, Rapids are subjectively fielding a formation, Colorado is collectively incredibly fun to watch tonight.

Donavan. Pax. Holding vs Ref. Loving this veering into MLS After Dark. #LAvCOL

38' GOAL RAPIDS

Paxten Aaronson takes a page out of Donavan Phillips' book with a Grown Ass Man™️ goal. Calegari absolutely draped over Pax, pulling his arm and trying to cut him down, but Aaronson shrugs him off and slots it clinically into goal.

#LAvCOL

35' The big Brazilian Klauss gets a header in a dangerous spot but puts it wide. The bigger note is that Thommy just keeps on exploiting the right half space. #LAvCOL

30' YELLOW CARD 🟨 ROB HOLDING

50/50 challenge on Haak. Haak goes down. Holding is absolutely livid with the ref and making it known. Would pay to hear or see the ref cam there. Paxten smiling as he attempts to buffer Rob from the official. Whittaker in there too. #LAvCOL

29' I know the play they were going for on the near post flick with Keegan Rosenberry taking the right side corner low and driven, but... not sure the initial formation was right for it. #LAvCOL

A note from earlier, around 16' Whittaker was hunting in the press on the right sideline and coaching Donavan to press and release centrally. #LAvCOL

18' #Rapids96 CHANCE

DONAVAN AGAIN. Looks to slot it between Marcinkowski's legs, but the Galaxy keeper gets big as he goes down. Whittaker gets a second bite of the apple that goes out for a corner. #LAvCOL

17' OFFSIDES GOAL GALAXY

Harbor Miller gets a tap in from an offsides Thommy. 50% of LA's players were offsides.

#LAvCOL

10' YELLOW CARD 🟨 KEEGAN ROSENBERRY

Chops down Thommy. #LAvCOL

Donavan Phillip now has two goals in two starts for #Rapids96. Even more important, the celly dance was much better tonight for Uncle Phil. #LAvCOL

4' GOAL RAPIDS

Donavan Phillip, on a pass from Josh Atencio to release him, turns on the gets and puts a no-doubter into the net, one on one with Marinkowski.
