Three saves in draw
Rafael registered three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.
Analysis: Rafael made three saves in Saturday's 2-2 MLS home draw with LAFC, denying Son Heung-Min twice in the second half and also stopping a Tyler Boyd effort in the first half before being beaten by Denis Bouanga's curling 14th minute opener and Son's composed 38th minute finish off the Gabonese's cutback. He was unable to prevent Son from rounding him in the 87th minute but was ultimately saved by DeAndre Yedlin's last-ditch clearance on the goal line, a moment that preserved RSL's point as the match finished 2-2. Rafael has now made 59 saves in 21 MLS starts this season.
Makes three saves in loss
Rafael registered three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: Rafael made three or more saves for the 12th time in 19 starts, but it wasn't enough to avoid the road loss. The goalkeeper has only two clean sheets over that span. He will now look to bounce back against LA FC on Saturday.
