COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — DeJuan Jones scored his first goal of the season, Cristian Arango also scored for San Jose and the Earthquakes beat the Colorado Rapids 2-0 on Saturday night.
Daniel De Sousa Britto — known simply as “Daniel” — had five saves for the Earthquakes.
Vítor Costa played a one-touch pass from the left side to the center of the area where a changing Jones slammed home a first-timer to open the scoring in the second minute of first-half stoppage time.
Arango made it 2-0 in the 67th after he deflected a pass by Colorado’s Chidozie Awaziem, ran onto the loose ball and then chipped a shot over goalkeeper Zack Steffen into the net.
Steffen finished with three saves.
The Rapids (4-4-4) are winless in four consecutive games.
San Jose (5-6-1), which beat Portland last time out to snap a three-game losing streak, has won back-to-back games.
Steffen had 12 saves and Calvin Harris capped the scoring in the 71st minute — his only goal of the season — for Colorado in a 2-1 road win over the Earthquakes 2-1 on March 15.
