San Jose Earthquakes News Release


The San Jose Earthquakes had their four-match unbeaten streak snapped in Saturday night's 3-1 defeat to the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium. Midfielder Vako's goal in the 88th minute spoiled the home team's chance for a shutout and put the Georgian on the scoresheet for the first time in 2019.

Quakes veterans Chris Wondolowski and Shea Salinas made their 300th and 250th appearances for San Jose, respectively, in Saturday night's match. Rookie midfielder Siad Haji made his MLS debut in the 67th minute of the match, replacing Tommy Thompson as a substitute. Fellow midfielder Eric Calvillo made his first start of the season, the third of his MLS career.

The Earthquakes look to defend their three-match home winning streak when they host the Chicago Fire on Saturday, May 18, presented by Audi. Saturday's match is set for 12:30 p.m. PT and will be broadcast on Univision, KNBR 1050 and 1370 KZSF.
