Both teams have a quick turnaround time with the Quakes hosting another home match against Seattle on Wednesday September 29 7:30pm start. LAFC returns home to host Portland same time.
In a renewed battle between old (Chivas USA) new rivals, LAFC marked another visit to San Jose with their star lineup of Carlos Vela and Diego Rossi. This time however, the home team got the better hand thanks to two goals from Nathan in the 11th minute and Chofis in the 28th–Cristian Espinoza assisted on both tallies. Jackson Yueill accounted for the Quakes scoring in the stats sheet but for the other team with his own goal in the 39th minute. This was all the scoring as the Quakes held on for a 2-1 win. Goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski kept the opposition off the board with his 6 saves. Jeremy Ebobisse made his team debut as a first half substitute in the 36th minute.
The Quakes extend their unbeaten streak to 7 with 2 wins and 5 draws as their winning streak against LAFC to three victories.
The Quakes continue their home schedule this Friday against Vancouver start time 7:30pm while LAFC continue their road trip with a match against Atlanta United Sunday August 15 1pm PST kickoff.
It was the Carlos Vela show as he netted 3 goals to give LAFC a 5-0 win. His goals in the 8th, 45th plus 3rd of stoppage time, and the 66th minute was the catalyst in giving the second LA team another victory. The game was also a homecoming for Steven Beitashour, who played for the Quakes from 2010 to 2013 before playing for Vancouver, Toronto where he won a title, and now LA. His goal in the 26th minute gave his team a very unsurmountable lead and assisted on the hat trick Vela strike. Diego Rossi added another goal in the 68th minute. The Quakes are currently winless in 4 games this year.
