San Jose Earthquakes News Release


SAN JOSE, Calif. - Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski tallied his 100th career MLS goal on Sunday to give San Jose a 1-1 draw against Orlando City SC at Levi's® Stadium. With the draw, the Earthquakes extended their unbeaten streak to five games, tied for the longest active streak in MLS and tied for the longest streak by any Western Conference team this season.

In the 12th minute, Quakes midfielder Shea Salinas played a give-and-go with Matias Perez Garcia inside Orlando City's penalty area and ripped a shot towards net, but his attempt was corralled by keeper Tally Hall.

Salinas created another scoring opportunity for himself in the 22nd minute. After receiving a through ball from forward Adam Jahn, Salinas stormed up the left side of the pitch and had a one-on-one with the keeper, but the narrow shooting angle proved too difficult as his left-footed shot went into the side netting.

In the 51st minute, Orlando City went down when midfielder Brek Shea was sent off with a straight red after mistiming his tackle on Quakes midfielder Sanna Nyassi.

Orlando City SC took a 1-0 lead in the 64th minute. After a penalty was called, Orlando City midfielder Kaka converted from the spot to give the away side the advantage.

San Jose drew level just four minutes later when defender Jordan Stewart was taken down in the box. Quakes forward Chris Wondolowski stepped up to take it and calmly slotted the penalty into the bottom-left corner of the net, marking his 100th career goal in MLS. He is just the ninth player to ever reach the century mark in league history. He has now scored in four of the team's last five matches.

The two teams continued to battle for the remainder of the match, but neither was able to find the deciding goal.

San Jose returns to action on Saturday, May 30, when they travel north of the border to take on Toronto FC. The match will be broadcast live on Comcast SportsNet California, in English on 1590 KLIV and in Spanish on 1370 KZSF, beginning at 2 p.m. PT.
