COMMERCE CITY, Colo.—The San Jose Earthquakes scored their first two goals of the season in a game in which they shut out the Colorado Rapids.
Ronnie O’Brien broke the Earthquakes (1-2) scoreless season Saturday night just before the end of the first half and Kei Kamera added another goal in the 61st minute of second half.
The Rapids (2-2) still sit at the top of the Western Conference with six points. The win gives the Earthquakes their first three points of the season.
