The San Jose Earthquakes have been something of a surprise hot team the last two games, and they’ll take on perhaps the team in MLS that’s an even bigger surprise, Real Salt Lake, when the teams square off Friday night at Rio Tinto Stadium to kick off the MLS weekend.
The Quakes are coming off a 4-1 romp over D.C. United last weekend in which they led almost wire-to-wire, with a debut goal from Chofís Lopez, a brace by Jackson Yueill, and a MLS Player of the Week performance from Cade Cowell.
