Following the blueprint they established a week earlier in a 2-2 draw against Orlando City, the San Jose Earthquakes fought back from a one-goal deficit to score late and earn a 1-1 tie with the LA Galaxy in the California Clasico at Stanford University.
Chad Barrett, who atoned for an earlier miss that would have leveled the score, found the back of the net in the 90th minute. sending the capacity crowd of 50,816 supporters into ecstasy. The Quakes had ample time to find a game-winner in stoppage time, especially when LA was reduced to ten men when defender Ashley Cole received a red card, but their efforts were quelled by some smart goalkeeping by the Galaxy's Brian Rowe.
