Additionally, Marcos López came from Sporting Cristal Lima.

Team Form
San Jose´s road form in their last five matches has not been great (1-3-1). However, the team has not lost in their last eleven home games. The Quakes are one of the most improved teams from the 2018. Last season San Jose was last in the Western Conference. New Head Coach MatÃas Almeyda has successfully changed San Jose's run of fortune with the team currently sitting in sixth place in the Western Conference.
Head-to-head
City and San Jose have met four times since 2015 with City holding an unbeaten 1-0-3 record against the Quakes. City won the last meeting 3-2 back on April 21st of 2018 in Orlando.
Rasmussen College Fun Fact
City has played just once at Avaya Stadium. Orlando met San Jose for the very first time in Levi´s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers, back in 2015. This will be the longest trip for City remaining during the regular season.
