Current Colorado Rapids player Dennis Castillo scored twice against former Rapid Matt Pickens on Sunday as Charlotte Independence drew 2-2 with high-flying Tampa Bay Rowdies.
Castillo, on loan at the Rapids’ USL affiliate, netted his brace - the first goals of his professional career - in the space of five second half minutes. That put the Independence 2-1 up, but the Rowdies, who were led by former England, Chelsea, West Ham and Liverpool star Joe Cole, leveled seven minutes from time through former Chivas USA winger Keith Savage.
Pickens was a member of the Rapids’ 2010 MLS Cup-winning side.
