The Earthquakes are still alive despite a weekend that didn’t go exactly as planned.
Looking around the Western Conference, the Earthquakes’ playoff push was aided by draws between LA and Real Salt Lake (3-3 on Wed.) and Sporting Kansas City and Houston (3-3 on Fri.), but took a hit when both Portland (1-0 vs. RSL) and Vancouver (3-1 vs. CLB) earned three points.
Heading into this weekend, the Quakes can undo a bit of the damage that last weekend’s home draw against Seattle caused. Make no mistake about it though, San Jose still has an opportunity if they can get on a roll for the final seven matches.
