Quakes v FC Cincinnati

In a match that was marred by fouls, cautions, and ejections the Quakes squeaked by with a win thanks to a Nick Lima goal in the 22nd minute.  That match was enough to get a 1-0 win, and their third home victory of the season.

A total of 28 fouls (15 from the Quakes and 13 from Cincinnati) plus 6 yellow cards (3 from each side), and the red card ejection of Cristian Espinoza in the 51st minute thanks to his yellow in the 15th was the focal point of the match.  Still, the team was able to grind out the results in a major improvement from the season before.

Quakes v LAFC

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.
