The Colorado Rapids and San Jose Earthquakes met just two weeks ago in Northern California, a game in which the Quakes took all three points by beating the Rapids 3-1. Tonight, San Jose traveled to Colorado and were the ones going home empty-handed.
In the first half, the Rapids were saved a couple of times by the post. The first time was four minutes into the game when Chris Wondolowski hit the post and the ball rolled right to Clint Irwin. Sixteen minutes later, Judson hit the same post on a blast from 25 yards out, it rebounded off the post and San Jose took another shot that rocketed over.
