Many things in life are beyond one’s control. For the San Jose Earthquakes, making the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs is not one of them.
With three matches remaining, including two at home, the Quakes are in the driver’s seat to punch their ticket to the postseason for the second time in three years. But it won’t come easy.
San Jose hosts the Philadelphia Union and Seattle Sounders FC on Wednesday and Sunday, respectively, before wrapping up the season next weekend in Portland. Currently sitting in the seventh and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, the Quakes will certainly need to add to their point total over the final three matches to earn their spot.
