The San Jose Earthquakes didn’t need any late drama this time. But they poured it on in the final 10 minutes anyway.
In the latest installment of the California Clasico — a series that tends to bring out crazy last-minute game-winners — the Earthquakes led almost the entire way in a convincing 3-0 victory over the LA Galaxy at a sold-out Stanford Stadium on Saturday night.
Vako, fresh off a brace in San Jose’s win over Houston three days earlier, continued his hot form with an 11th-minute goal following a couple of sharp passes off of a cleverly designed free kick.
