Elasticsearch match_phrase query inside multi_match

I have a simple multi_match query like this:

{
    "from": 0,
    "size": 10,
    "query": {
        "multi_match": {
            "query": "RNA sequencing"
        }
    }
}

This works well as intended, however I'd like to make my query a match phrase query so it returns "RNA sequencing" as a phrase and not "RNA" and "sequencing" separately. I tried doing this

{
    "from": 0,
    "size": 10,
    "query": {
        "multi_match": {
            "query": "RNA sequencing", "type": "phrase"
        }
    }
}

And

{
    "from": 0,
    "size": 10,
    "query": {
        "multi_match": {
            "match_phrase": {"query": "RNA sequencing"}
        }
    }
}

but they both result parsing errors. Any ideas on what to do?

Adding a working example with index data, search query, and search result

Index Data:

{
    "title":"sequencing"
}
{
    "title":"RNA sequencing"
}
{
    "title":"RNA"
}

Search Query:

{
  "query": {
    "multi_match": {
      "query": "RNA sequencing",
      "type": "phrase"
    }
  }
}

Search Result:

"hits": [
      {
        "_index": "65314008",
        "_type": "_doc",
        "_id": "1",
        "_score": 0.9808291,
        "_source": {
          "title": "RNA sequencing"
        }
      }
    ]
