The Quakes season of futility continued with a loss against Eastern Conference contender New York Red Bulls 3-1 in their bi-annual match at Avaya Stadium. Alex Myul (29th minute), Bradley Wright-Phillips (32nd minute), and Aaron Long (50th minute) accounted for the Red Bulls scoring and they held on to the lead for the remainder of the match. The one Quakes consolation was a late goal from Chris Wondolowski (83rd minute). His tally put him at 144 goals which puts him closer to tying the record set by Landon Donovan at 145.

The Quakes will finish out their home league schedule on Sunday October 21 against the Colorado Rapids 2pm kick off. However, during the international window they will host a match against Liga MX club Cruz Azul on Saturday October 13 at 5:15 pm. The Red Bulls are off next weekend for the international matches, but will hit the road with a trip along Interstate 95 to play against the Philadelphia Union on October 21.
Our buddies at the Beautiful Blog were in the house. The report from Doug Z is at the site – yes, he is there when the (team formerly known as the) Metros visits the Bay Area. If the schedule only allowed for a home and home series instead a bi-annual visit–for 2019 the teams will play at Red Bull Arena.
