The San Jose Earthquakes completed their 2017 preseason on a high note Saturday afternoon, securing a decisive 4-1 victory over the Sacramento Republic FC at Avaya Stadium.
Goals from Quakes veterans Shea Salinas and Simon Dawkins made all the difference as San Jose upped its preseason record to 6-1-2. Newcomers Jahmir Hyka and Danny Hoesen added goals late in the second half to secure the victory.
The Earthquakes have never lost to Sacramento, beating the USL side twice in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and four times in preseason friendlies since the Republic first played in 2014.
