The San Jose Earthquakes had such a great home opener for the 2021 season they hope they can repeat the feat Saturday night when they host D.C. United for the teams’ first meeting since 2019.
The Quakes beat FC Dallas 3-1 last week, a game that was both tight for the opening stretch and also kind of a total blowout in the end, with goals from Oswaldo Alanís, Cristian Espinoza and Cade Cowell. Coming off a rough opening half the week before in Houston, the victory allayed some fears that the Quakes may need several weeks to find their form.
