Rapids' Unbeaten Streak At 13 After 2-2 Draw With Whitecaps

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Axel Sjoberg scored late in extra time to lift Colorado to a 2-2 draw against the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night, extending the Rapids' unbeaten streak to 13 games.

Sjoberg's goal silenced a sellout crowd of 22,120 at BC Place Stadium after Kevin Doyle made a pass from the side of the net that Sjoberg headed past Whitecaps goalkeeper David Ousted.

Vancouver's Christian Techera had scored on a penalty kick in the 87th minute to give the Whitecaps a 2-1 lead.

The penalty was awarded after Techera was hauled down from behind in the penalty box by Colorado defender Jared Watts.

Doyle also scored in the 59th minute for Colorado (9-2-7), which has allowed a league-low 13 goals.

Defender Kendall Waston scored in the 10th minute for Vancouver (7-8-4), which moved into a tie with Sporting Kansas City for fifth in the Western Conference.
