This Week 9-14-20

The latest has the Quakes playing a pair of matches, plus an update in the schedule.  On Thursday they suffered their most humiliating defeat losing to the Seattle Sounders 7-1.  The lone tally was a penalty kick goal from Chris Wondolowski in the 71st minute.  His tally extended his career scoring record to 163 goals.

The second game was a more respectable result when the Quakes and the LA Galaxy played to a scoreless draw.  The match was the first league match played between the two teams at Earthquakes Stadium since 2017.

Last week the extended schedule was announced with 3 more games added.  The Quakes will play the Portland Timbers at home twice, with their makeup match this Wednesday at 6:30 pm and another Saturday at 7:30 pm.

Our good friend Quakesfan has another post–please check him out. Right now the Quakes have only managed one point which was against Colorado at home. The regular season is a marathon and not a sprint and because Matias is a very good tournament coach his style may not fit well for a 6 to 7 month season schedule.  In any case, the deets are better explained there, along with the gang at The Beautiful Blog.
