O’Neill, who graduated from Fairview High in May, signed with the Rapids just a few weeks later. He played for the club in an exhibition game against Swansea City earlier this summer. But Wednesday marked his first MLS contest.
O’Neill, a central midfielder, entered the game in the 86th minute for Jeff Larentowicz.
