Colorado is unbeaten in seven straight MLS matches against the Galaxy (W5 D2), equaling the longest unbeaten run by either team in the history of the series (LAG – 7 straight from July 1997 to March 1999).
The Rapids overcame a halftime deficit to draw Orlando City, 1-1, at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday. It was the second consecutive match that Colorado trailed at half and earned a result, the first time the team had done that in consecutive matches in the same season since August 2013.
The Galaxy have lost three of their last four matches following a 3-2 defeat to San Jose on Wednesday. LA has conceded three goals in all three of those defeats and has let in three goals six times this season. Only San Jose and Vancouver (7 each) have allowed three or more goals in more matches in 2022.
With his goal in Colorado’s 1-1 draw with Orlando, Gyasi Zardes became the 13th player in MLS history to score 90 or more regular-season goals. Zardes is the first MLS Homegrown Player to reach 90 career goals.
Dejan Joveljic scored both Galaxy goals on Wednesday, taking his total to seven goals in his last six MLS matches. Since this run began in late May, no player in MLS has scored more times than Joveljic (tied with Hany Mukhtar).
