COMMERCE CITY — Rapids striker Caleb Calvert had an unforgettable game Saturday night in Philadelphia with one memory he will savor but another he would prefer to forget.
Calvert scored his first MLS goal with a sweet shot that caught three defenders and goalkeeper Andre Blake flat-footed, giving Colorado an early 1-0 lead. But in the second half he was sent off following a bizarre sequence of events that turned the game Philadelphia’s way. The Union scored the winning goal six minutes later.
In the 15th minute, Kevin Doyle spotted Calvert with wide-open space in front of him and flicked a header there for Calvert to run down.
