San Jose Earthquakes News Release


SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper Daniel has been named to Major League Soccer's Team of the Matchday for Matchday 21. The Quakes drew with the LA Galaxy 1-1 on Saturday night at Stanford Stadium in the 104th California Clasico across all competitions.

Daniel made six saves with a couple at point-blank range. Despite the Galaxy having 2.8 expected goals on the night statistically, the Earthquakes goalkeeper continuously confounded the LA attack to keep his squad's archrivals at bay and preserve a point for San Jose. Across all competitions, the Quakes are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 contests and have vaulted to sixth place and playoff position in the Western Conference.

The MLS Team of the Matchday selection is the seventh in Daniel's career.

The Black and Blue now face the New York Red Bulls on Saturday in the first-ever Fireworks Night at PayPal Park. Kickoff will take place at 7;'30 p.m. PT and will be broadcast globally on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV (English/Spanish), as well as on local radio via KSFO 810 AM (English) and 1370 AM La Kaliente (Spanish).
