CARSON, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes picked up a road point against the rival LA Galaxy with a 1-1 draw at the StubHub Center on Sunday evening as part of Heineken Rivalry Week. Second-year midfielder Fatai Alashe headed home a late equalizer to stun the home side.
In the 13th minute, defender Kofi Sarkodie received a throw-in and curled a cross into the box. Alashe headed the ball goalward, but his shot attempt was saved comfortably.
One minute later, the Quakes created another opportunity. Forward Chris Wondolowski volleyed a Simon Dawkins pass on net, forcing a diving save by goalkeeper Brian Rowe.
