The Galaxy were knocked out of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Monday night in San Jose as the Earthquakes dominated 3-2 at Avaya Stadium.
LA had a dream start in just the 3rd minute as Jelle Van Damme barreled into the area to slam home a Giovani dos Santos corner kick from close range, giving Van Damme his second goal in as many matches vs. the Quakes.
From that point however, the Earthquakes five man midfield ran circles around the Galaxy, as time and time again San Jose were able to tear apart LA on the attack.
