MLS Week 23 highlights - WIZARDS @ EARTHQUAKES
The 2008 expansion San Jose Earthquakes could be in the midst of doing something quite extraordinary; while they had already been written off by everyone as being out of the playoff picture, with a points total far behind the other six Western Conference teams through July, there is now a very real chance they could get into the post-season...
When the Kansas City Wizards came to San Jose this weekend to meet the 'Quakes at Buck Shaw Stadium, it was a meeting of the last place teams of their two respective conferences. However, when the game was over, San Jose came away with a win - and as their seventh consecutive unbeaten match, it meant that they were out of the basement in the West for the first time this season...
from MLSNet,
"A timely header from San Jose Earthquakes forward Darren Huckerby in the 83rd minute proved to be the difference Saturday as the Kansas City Wizards suffered a tough 2-1 defeat at Buck Shaw Stadium."
"An Arturo Alvarez header had given San Jose a 1-0 lead two minutes before halftime, only for the Wizards' Davy Arnaud to equalize courtesy of a Michael Harrington cross in the 64th minute. That merely set the stage for Huckerby's heroics, as the Englishman headed home Ryan Johnson's knockdown from close range to give the Quakes a priceless victory."
