Earthquakes rally with two late goals, shock LAFC 2-1
Jackson Yueill’s tap-in goal in extra time lifted the visiting Earthquakes to a 2-1 comeback win over LAFC on Sunday night.
Christian Espinoza set up Yueill’s goal, weaving through defenders to the left of the goal for a perfect center to Yueill in the 93rd minute.
Mark-Anthony Kaye scored his third goal of the season at the 45th minute to put LAFC (5-6-3) on top. San Jose (3-6-5) knotted it in the 80th minute when Shea Salinas stopped his run driving to the left, crossed over to the right and sent a blast past the keeper.
