San Jose Earthquakes - Colorado Rapids
Earthquakes and Rapids level for decisive second leg
San Jose Earthquakes host Colorado Rapids at PayPal Park on 29 October 2026 for the second leg of their Major League Soccer contest. With the aggregate level at 1-1 following the first leg on 11 October 2026, both sides enter this decisive matchday 32 fixture with everything to play for. San Jose is expected to field a side led by Timo Werner and Ousseni Bouda, while Colorado looks to counter with a midfield-heavy setup featuring Paxten Aaronson and Joshua Atencio. The visitors face a challenge in their personnel selection, as both Hamzat Ojediran and Reggie Cannon remain sidelined due to injury.
Recent form suggests a tight battle, as both teams have struggled to find consistency in their domestic campaigns. San Jose enters this fixture off a heavy defeat against FC Dallas, while Colorado secured a narrow victory over Vancouver Whitecaps. Tactical discipline will likely define this encounter as both sides aim to break the deadlock.
