San Jose Earthquakescon Miguel Trauco until the 63rd minute, managed to beat 2-1 to Vancouver Whitecaps for the second day of the Major League Soccer (MLS). With this result, the Peruvian team reached its first three points in the North American competition and on the next date it will be at home against Colorados Rapids.
Despite the fact that the ‘responsibility’ lay with the home owners, it was the visit who came out with the intention of putting pressure on the rival field. That was how at minute 17 he had a response to his attempts and Gressel filtered a pass between the lines for the appearance of Alessandro Schopf that he defined by falling before goalkeeper Daniel left.
The locals tried to advance their lines to find parity; however, they had to wait until the second part to achieve their goal. After some changes, among which was the departure of Trauco, San Jose managed to position itself better on the field.
The tie came about 68 minutes in when Monteiro took a cross into the rival area and Jeremy Ebobisse connected with his head to the delight of everyone present in the stadium. At 77, Espinoza surprised with his serve for Carlos Akapo and he did not fail against the goalkeeper Takaoka. It was the final 2-1.
Despite the attempts of both sides to move the score again, neither could make it happen, so the three points remained in the hands of the hosts. The three points allow them not to move away from the first places and thus they will have a quiet week to work thinking about Coloroda.
