As the MLS season is nearing the finish line, there are many teams in both conferences still battling for a playoff position. Week 34’s most offensive game was in Salt Lake City, where the Quakes played spoiler to a Real Salt Lake playoff run.
Fierro Scores in Goal Fest
Carlos Fierro scored and assisted in the San Jose Earthquake’s 4-3 win over Real Salt Lake. Scoring in the 37th minute, Fierro opened the scoring for San Jose and assisted a Chris Wondolowski goal to give the Quakes a 2-1 lead at halftime.
