SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES vs COLORADO RAPIDS BUCK SHAW STADIUM, Santa Clara, Calif. August 25, 2012 (WEEK 25, MLS Game #241) 7:30 p.m. PT (CSN-CA; Altitude) The San Jose Earthquakes will be looking to extend their lead atop the MLS overall table when they face a Colorado Rapids desperately trying to pull itself back into the playoff chase when the clubs meet Saturday evening at Buck Shaw Stadium. The Quakes still lead the overall table by a point entering the week, following their 3-1 loss in Montréal last weekend. The Rapids sit 11 points behind the fifth and final Western playoff spot off a 1-1 home draw with Chivas. REFEREE: Silviu Petrescu.

A Chris Wondolowski penalty kick in stoppage time capped a two-goal rally over the final seven-plus minutes to give the Quakes a 2-1 victory, June 20 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids have won just once in their last eight home games vs. San Jose. That win came Aug. 7, 2010; the teams will meet Oct. 6 in Commerce City. Colorado’s 2-1 win at San Jose last Aug. 13 was their first in northern California since 2003. The Quakes had won three meetings in between, with four draws. Coaches record: Oscar Pareja vs. SJ: P1 W0 L1 D0 … Frank Yallop v COL: P26 W9 L10 D7 LAST MEETING (MLS): 6/20: COL 1, SJ 2 (Mullan 18 – own goal 83; Wondolowski 90+ pen) The home side took the lead after 18 minutes. After surging down the wing, right back Hunter Freeman crossed to an open Brian Mullan at the far post, and he made no mistake with the pinpoint service, heading inside the back post. But the Quakes yet again had some late heroics in their bag. In the 83rd minute, after Colorado goalkeeper Matt Pickens denied Steven Lenhart's point-blank chance, San Jose's Alan Gordon and Freeman came crashing in at the far post, and the rebound caromed off the Rapids defender into the net. Then in stoppage time, Gordon drew a penalty after Pickens’ flailing dive at the ball, where the 'keeper appeared to catch Gordon’s boot. Chris Wondolowski stepped to the spot and buried the resulting penalty for the match-winner. COLORADO RAPIDS (4-3-3): Matt Pickens - Hunter Freeman, Marvell Wynne, Drew Moor, Luis Zapata Jaime Castrillon (Wells Thompson 90), Martin Rivero, Jeff Larentowicz - Brian Mullan, Conor Casey (Omar Cummings 67), Edu (Kamani Hill 73).

MLS GAME INFORMATION
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES The San Jose Earthquakes lost for the second time in as many road games, falling 3-1 to the Montréal Impact on Saturday evening at Stade Saputo. The Quakes lead the Western Conference and the MLS overall table with 47 points from 25 games. LAST MATCH The game got off to a fiery start with a 21st-minute altercation between San Jose’s Steven Lenhart and Montreal’s Hassoun Camara that saw both players sent off. The incident also resulted in a penalty awarded to San Jose, and Chris Wondolowski blasted the spot kick low to Troy Perkins’ right to give the visitors the lead. The Impact took no time in answering back. Marco Di Vaio sent a long pass towards the right side of the San Jose area, where Felipe beautifully controlled the ball in mid-air, and his return low cross found Di Vaio at the far post where the Italian turned the ball into the roof of the goal. The Impact broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute. Patrice Bernier danced through tackles on the edge of the San Jose box before laying the ball to Lamar Neagle, who curled a 22-yard shot past goalkeeper Jon Busch. Then in the 71st minute, Neagle released Di Vaio in behind the Quakes defense, and Jason Hernandez brought him down in the box from behind. Referee Armando Villarreal issued Hernandez a straight red card, and Bernier converted the ensuing penalty to put the game beyond doubt. Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop made no changes to the team that hit late for a 2-1 victory against Seattle Sounders FC at Buck Shaw Stadium SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (4-4-2): Jon Busch - Steven Beitashour, Jason Hernandez (sent off 71), Victor Bernardez, Justin Morrow - Marvin Chavez (Ike Opara 74), Sam Cronin, Rafael Baca (Khari Stephenson 74), Simon Dawkins - Steven Lenhart (sent off 21), Chris Wondolowski. TEAM NEWS It was a second consecutive road loss for the Quakes, and extended their winless streak to four games away from Buck Shaw Stadium. “All the teams in the league are pretty equal, so it is never easy to win away from home,” Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop said. “Montreal played well tonight and took advantage of their chances. We took it on the chin a bit tonight, but we will regroup, and we are looking forward to Colorado at home next weekend.” The Quakes are still one of three teams with a better than .500 record on the road (along with Sporting KC and Chivas USA). We are very good on the road, winning a lot of games. People think you can keep that going, but it’s not easy,” Yallop said. “We’ve been to some difficult places to play. It’s MLS, a lot of teams are equal and you can’t win every game in this league.” After making his first start since June 30 the week before, Steven Lenhart made his second consecutive appearance in the first XI – but will miss the Colorado match after he was sent off in the 21st minute. I’m not sure why Lenhart was sent off,” said Yallop. “He seems to be singled out every game we play. … It’s like he doesn’t do anything, he just goes for the ball, plays hard. And that’s what he should do, as a center forward. It seems like he’s getting cards and red cards when he doesn’t deserve it. That changed the game for us.” Chris Wondolowski scored his first goal since July 14. His four-game streak without a goal was his longest in a year. Wondolowski still leads the MLS Golden Boot standings with 18 goals. “It was tough losing Steven,” right back Steven Beitashour said. “Without him up top, Wondo had it tough with three defenders around him. They took their chances when they had them, and we couldn’t connect in the final third.” The Quakes will be missing both center backs for the Colorado match after Victor Bernardez was suspended for one match following a decision by the MLS Disciplinary Committee. Jason Hernandez was sent off in the 71st minute in Montréal. Khari Stephenson came off the bench for the final 16 minutes, his first appearance since July 18. Stephenson has made four substitute appearances since his last start, July 3 vs. Portland. COLORADO RAPIDS The Colorado Rapids played to just their second draw of the 2012 season, reaching a 1-1 result with Chivas USA on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are in eighth place in the Western Conference with 26 points from 25 games. LAST MATCH The Rapids opened the scoring in the 19th minute off a mistake by the visitors. Brian Mullan picked Shalrie Joseph’s pocket inside the area and unleashed a rocket past Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy for the early lead. Seven minutes from time, Chivas USA made the hosts pay. Second-half substitute Tristan Bowen crossed into the path of Colorado goalkeeper Pickens, but the veteran ‘keeper could only get an outstretched hand on the ball, and it deflected directly into the path of Juan Pablo Ángel for an easy tap-in.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja made one change to the side that dropped a 3-2 decision to FC Dallas in Frisco. Tony Cascio came into the side for the suspended Jaime Castrillon. COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): Matt Pickens - Hunter Freeman, Marvell Wynne, Drew Moor, Luis Zapata Joseph Nane (Wells Thompson 75), Jeff Larentowicz - Brian Mullan, Martin Rivero, Tony Cascio (Jamie Smith 82) - Omar Cummings (Conor Casey 61). TEAM NEWS The Rapids again failed to hold a lead after scoring the first goal. Colorado has lost five games and tied one after scoring the first goal, the 16 points lost tied for second-most in the league. “It’s like a movie,” Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja said. “I thought the game was leaning towards us and we had chances and options, and defensively, we played very well. And we came out with one point. That’s the way it is, but it’s disappointing.” It was just the second draw of the season for the Rapids, the fewest of any team in MLS. “I've run out of words now, really. It's a game that you dominate, that you have chances and chances, and defensively I thought the team played very well, were very solid,” said Pareja. “And then just one time, and it cost us two points. It's very expensive (costly) for us, for sure." Brian Mullan scored his second goal of the season. He has a goal and three assists over the last six games. “I don’t think it was so much the amount of attempts that we had, it was the two or three quality opportunities that we had that we’re regretting right now,” said defender Drew Moor. “It’s everybody on the field. You don’t go and single out anybody or point anybody out. At the end of the day, 11 to 14 guys have to get the three points. Nobody’s doing what we need to do right now to get the points.” With Jaime Castrillón suspended, rookie Tony Cascio made his first start since July 21, his second start after starting 13 of the first 14 games of the league campaign. Conor Casey also made his first appearance after not featuring in back-to-back matches, after his start July 28. Casey came on for the final half-hour in place of Omar Cummings. “There was a lot of positive things for sure, I thought our guys performed very well. But you have to have that killer instinct, that instinct to just put the game away. We were creating chances, and chances, and it didn't happen,” said Pareja. Added Moor: “We did create some chances going forward that we’re used to seeing go in the back of the net. It’s just a combination of things right now that aren’t going our way and it’s disappointing.” The trip to San Jose starts a run of four out of the next five games away from Dick’s Sporting Goods Park for the Rapids. The Rapids are 2-10-0 on the road this season, matching Montréal for the most away losses in MLS this season. “[San Jose] is a team who’s doing well,” Mullan said. “We dominated them here and the same thing happened again. We have to solve the problems and put our chances in.”

Earthquakes’ Last Game Earthquakes 1, Montreal Impact 3; Aug. 18, 2012; Saputo Stadium in Montreal, Quebec The San Jose Earthquakes lost 3-1 to the Montreal Impact in their first ever appearance at Saputo Stadium in Montreal. Chris Wondolowski struck first for the Quakes, but the Impact scored three straight goals to hand San Jose just their sixth loss of the season. The game came to life just past the 20 minute mark. Hassoun Camara and Steven Lenhart were both ejected following an altercation in the Impact’s box. The result of the play was a penalty kick for the Quakes. Wondolowski stepped up and converted for a 1-0 lead for San Jose. Just two minutes after San Jose had moved in front, Marco Di Vaio got on the other end of a Felipe Martins cross to equalize. Lenny Neagle scored the eventual game winner in the 62nd minute, slamming one home from the top of the box and Patrice Bernier tacked on another in the 72nd minute, converting a penalty after Quakes defender Jason Hernandez dragged Di Vaio down in the area. Last Game vs. Colorado Earthquakes 2, Colorado Rapids 1; June 20, 2012; Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, Denver, Colo. The San Jose Earthquakes scored twice in the final seven minutes to rally for a 2-1 win against the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. After falling behind on an 18th-minute header from Brian Mullan, the Earthquakes responded with a quality first-half chance from Steven Lenhart. The target man got on the other end of a Justin Morrow cross in the 36th minute, only to be denied by a fingertip save by Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens. Following the intermission, Alan Gordon once again came off the bench to bring San Jose back. First, he was in the mix with Rapids defender Hunter Freeman to put the Earthquakes on the board in the 83rd minute. Although, the equalizer was credited as an own goal, Gordon was the man pressing the action for San Jose. In the 90th minute, Simon Dawkins sprung Gordon in the box with a through ball. Gordon tried to go by Pickens but was tripped, earning a stoppage-time spot kick. Chris Wondolowski struck the ensuing shot high and into the net, snaring three road points for San Jose.

Stoppage-Time Shenanigans Steven Lenhart’s goal in the third minute of second-half stoppage (93rd minute) vs. Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 11 was the seventh scored by San Jose in 2012, a new club and MLS record for such strikes. The Earthquakes have earned themselves an additional 11 points in the standings thanks to stoppage-time heroics this season. Of their seven goals, five were game winners and one was an equalizer. Late-Game Scoring Records The Earthquakes set a pair of club records pertaining to late-game scoring in the club’s 2-1 win against Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 11. Steven Lenhart’s stoppage-time goal was the seventh scored by the Earthquakes in 2012, topping the club record of six. Additionally, that goal marked the 17th goal San Jose has scored in the final 15 minutes of normal time this season, one-upping the previous club record of 16 set in 1998. Iron Man Morrow Quakes all-star defender Justin Morrow has played every minute of San Jose’s 25 games this season. He is one of five players in MLS to see the field in each of his club’s 25 matches in 2012. The list also includes Colorado’s Matt Pickens and Drew Moor, Sporting Kansas City’s Jimmy Nielsen and Vancouver’s Lee Young-Pyo. Wondolowski Approaching MLS Single Season Record for Game-Winning Goals Chris Wondolowski is one game-winning goal away from tying an MLS record that he shares with former LA Galaxy forward Carlos Ruiz. Wondolowski (2010) and Ruiz (2002) have each recorded nine game-winning goals in a single season. San Jose’s striker has scored the game winner in eight of San Jose’s 14 victories to date. Wondolowski Closing in on Club Scoring Mark Chris Wondolowski is six goals away from matching Ronald Cerritos’ club record for career goals scored. Cerritos scored 61 goals in 148 games over six seasons in San Jose. Meanwhile, Wondolowski has 55 goals in 97 games over five seasons for the Earthquakes.

Single Season Goals Record The San Jose Earthquakes continue to close in on the club’s single season record for goals scored.

Chavez Piling up Assists Earthquakes midfielder Marvin Chavez is tied for No. 3 on the MLS assist list with nine. His total trails league leaders Landon Donovan (LA) and Graham Zusi (SKC) by two.

He ranks behind Sigi Schmid (168), Bruce Arena (139), Bob Bradley (124) and Steve Nicol (112) and former pupil Dominic Kinnear (111).

He trails only Brad Friedel, currently of Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League, who produced a mark of .756 over 38 games with the Columbus Crew in 1996-97.

The Quakes only gave up leads two times in 2002, losing 21 at the LA Galaxy on July 4 and falling at Kansas City by the same score on July 27. Yallop’s team was 8-1-3 in 2008 when scoring first, 6-1-5 in 2009, 12-0-2 in 2010, 7-4-5 in 2011, and 10-2-0 in 2012. The Quakes are 79-10-18 (.888) in eight seasons under Yallop when striking first. Halftime Success The Earthquakes remain amongst the best in league history in holding onto a halftime lead. Since the beginning of the 2000 season, the Quakes are 76-3-15 (.962) when leading at the half, including impressive marks of 7-0-2 in 2010, 4-0-3 in 2009, 7-0-3 in 2005, 7-0-1 in 2004 and 8-0-1 in 2003. They are off to a 7-0-0 start in 2012. Despite holding a 1-0 halftime lead on May 10, 2008, vs. Columbus, the Quakes were edged by the final score of 3-2. That game marked the team’s first loss since 1999 when holding a halftime advantage.
