The San Jose Earthquakes threw everything they could at the Seattle Sounders, but after conceding another first-half golazo, they couldn’t find the scoreboard themselves this time and lost 1-0 on Wednesday at PayPal Park.
The Quakes, who often get blown out by the Sounders, went toe-to-toe with their opponent this time, but while they had a gilt-edged change to get a goal in stoppage time with an outfield Seattle player in goal, they couldn’t break through and their three-game winning streak was snapped.
While the Sounders rotated a lot in their XI, Matias Almeyda made no changes to his Earthquakes starting lineup, with Tanner Beason retaining his spot at center back.
