SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES LIVESTRONG SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. May 27, 2012 (WEEK 12, MLS Game #120) 3:30 p.m. CT (NBC SN) A marquee matchup of two of the surprising teams in MLS over the opening months of the season is ahead Sunday at Livestrong Sporting Park when Sporting Kansas City entertain the San Jose Earthquakes. Sporting have hit a rough patch following their seven-game winning streak to open the season, coming off a 2-2 draw in Colorado last weekend.

The Quakes have recorded three remarkable late-game rallies, scoring three goals in the final quarter-hour at midweek for a 3-2 win at the LA Galaxy to move back atop the Western Conference.

The Quakes last won in Kansas City in 2004.  Kansas City hasn’t won at San Jose since Aug. 16, 2000, a 3-0 win at Spartan Stadium. On the last 13 trips to northern California, KC has lost eight times, with five draws.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. SJ: P5 W2 L2 D1 … Frank Yallop v KC: P24 W12 L7 D5 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City saw their winless run reach four games, pegged back for 2-2 draw with the Colorado Rapids on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Sporting have 22 points from 11 matches, now in third place in the Eastern Conference.

LAST MATCH  Sporting were on top just more than a minute into the match. Seth Sinovic floated a service to the center of the box, finding an unmarked Teal Bunbury lurking, and he made no mistake in burying his header.  Twelve minutes later, Matt Besler’s throw-in went right through Rapids 'keeper Matt Pickens’ hands and into Bunbury’s path, who pounced on the gift to knock the second goal of the game into an unguarded goal.  The Rapids began their comeback seven minutes into the second half. Martin Rivero’s pinpoint free kick found the head of center back Tyrone Marshall, who nodded home his first goal of the season.  In the 60th minute, Colorado once again capitalized on a set piece. Jeff Larentowicz’s freekick from 25 yards out was initially stopped by Jimmy Nielsen, but the veteran ‘keeper spilled the rebound to Conor Casey. He cleverly turned and slotted a ball to Kosuke Kimura, who turned the ball home from close range.  Sporting head coach Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that suffered a 2-1 defeat by the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park. Seth Sinovic returned to left back for Michael Harrington, Paulo Nagamura started in midfield for the suspended Roger Espinoza, and Teal Bunbury started up top in place of C.J. Sapong.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Paulo Nagamura (Peterson Joseph 77), Julio Cesar (Lawrence Olum 87) - Kei Kamara, Graham Zusi, Bobby Convey (Jacob Peterson 59) - Teal Bunbury.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

TEAM NEWS  After a seven-game winning streak to open the season, Sporting have now gone four games without a victory.

SKC has not won in the month of May since the 2009 season, now 13 May matches without a win.  “It was a good result for us on the road,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “We’re getting out of here with one point. We wanted to get out of here with three, but this was still a good result for us.”  Teal Bunbury was making his first start since the season opener, and didn’t take long to make his mark, scoring just 61 seconds into the match and completing a double before a quarter-hour was gone. It was the third twogoal game of his MLS career.  “That first goal was a great buildup by the entire team, and he made a great, great, great finish,” Vermes said.

“The second one, he was very opportunistic to stick it in the back of the net.”  Bunbury was in the first team in place of C.J. Sapong, who has not netted since April 1, after scoring in three of Sporting’s first four games this season.  Seth Sinovic returned to the starting lineup after missing two matches following surgery on a broken hand.  “He was decent,” Vermes said. “I think he was a little bit off in his timing, and a little bit of fitness. I think that was a question of not playing for a couple of weeks, aside from the reserve game last week.”  Peterson Joseph made his first appearance of the season, coming on for the final 11 minutes. He had been away from the club for an extended period following the death of his mother in Haiti. “He can’t go 90 minutes,” Vermes said. “He’s in form in regards to his play, though.”  Paulo Nagamura made his second start of the season, in place of the suspended Roger Espinoza in the midfield.  Three of the nine goals conceded by Sporting this year have from free kicks, with two more coming on penalty kicks.  “I think you’re always trying to look at the number of set pieces you give up in your own half,” Vermes said.

“We’ll take a look at those and see what happened. I only get one look at them during the game. I don’t see the replay. But we’ll look at both of those.”

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES The San Jose Earthquakes made it three remarkable late rallies in as many games, coming back for a 3-2 victory against the LA Galaxy on Wednesday evening at The Home Depot Center. The Quakes regained first place in the Western Conference with 27 points from 13 games.

LAST MATCH  The Galaxy took an early lead. Barely three minutes in, Juninho slipped a ball into the penalty area for Chad Barrett, who then sent a backheel to a charging Hector Jimenez. He then beat San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch with a shot to the far post.  The match changed on the hour when Jimenez was sent off by referee Jair Marrufo after a studs-up tackle on Steven Beitashour.  Yet it was the Galaxy who doubled their lead in the 73rd minute. On a counter, David Beckham floated a ball to Mike Magee on the left side. Magee faked a pass, shook himself around the goalkeeper and buried the ball into the roof of the goal.  But the Quakes came right back down and cut the lead in half three minutes later when Marvin Chávez whipped in a corner kick and Steven Lenhart buried a diving header into the back of the goal.  San Jose found the equalizer with eight minutes remaining. Jason Hernandez unloaded a shot from the corner of the area and Beckham got a piece of it with his arm. Khari Stephenson easily converted the resulting penalty.  There was one final twist in stoppage time. Hernandez launched a long ball into the Galaxy area and Alan Gordon took advantage of indecision with the bouncing ball, looping a header over Brian Perk’s head as the Earthquakes escaped with a stunning victory.  Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop made three changes to the team that came back for a 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew at Buck Shaw Stadium. Ike Opara came into the back four for Ramiro Corrales, Tressor Moreno started in place of Khari Stephenson in midfield, and Sercan Guvenisik replaced Chris Wondolowski up top.  SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (4-3-1-2): Jon Busch - Steven Beitashour, Ike Opara, Jason Hernandez, Justin Morrow - Rafael Baca (Marvin Chavez 74), Sam Cronin (Khari Stephenson 66), Simon Dawkins - Tressor Moreno - Sercan Guvenisik (Alan Gordon 46), Steven Lenhart.

TEAM NEWS  For a third consecutive match, Alan Gordon scored the tying or winning goal in the 88th minute or later. Since being acquired from Toronto FC last July, all five of Gordon’s goals with San Jose have come after the 70th minute.  “I think when you bring in a guy like Alan Gordon, who has the fighter’s resolve, he doesn’t give up. He is not disappointed if someone doesn’t quite serve him the ball or doesn’t quite play it up to him in the right manner,”

said Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop. “… I’ve said it before that there are not many better players than Alan when fully healthy. He is a really good target man, good with his feet, good in the air.”

All six of Gordon’s appearances this season have been as a substitute. “We’ve got character and we are showing it game in and game out. We never say die with the characters on this team,” said Gordon. “We have a deep bench, we’ve got guys pushing guys, the guys on the bench are hungry to play which keeps the guys on the field on top of their game. The subs that get in are doing well, working their butt off.”

It was the fifth time in the last seven matches San Jose has scored the tying or winning goal in the 88th minute or later.

“We love to fight. We are committed to the 90 minutes plus,” said Steven Lenhart. “From the 11 guys on the field to the rest of the team there is no drop off in committing to fight and score and work for the team, it is fun to be a part of.”

The Quakes have scored eight goals in the game’s final quarter-hour, most in MLS, and 15 from the 60th minute on, also most in the league.

“We just like to make the game exciting. Goonies never say die,” said Lenhart. “I think we are prepared this year. We have put in the work in training and we like each other, we show up every day and we all know we are committing to the 90 minutes, to play together and work for each other. It may not look that pretty but we know we are going to get the most out of our guys at the end of the day.”

Marvin Chavez also made a mark on the comeback after coming on for the final 16 minutes, his first appearance since May 5 after suffering a strained left hamstring.

“Adding Marvin late in the game was great,” Yallop said. “Marvin only had 25 to 30 minutes in him . . . We didn’t want to risk him [getting re-injured], but we wanted to give him enough time to make sure he impacted the game. And if you look at the game, I think he impacted it quite well.”

Sporting Kansas City Game Notes | May 27th, 2012 vs San Jose Earthquakes| www.SportingKC.com

When they last met...

•

Sporting Kansas City last played San Jose Earthquakes on October 1, 2011 to a 1-1 draw at Buck Shaw Stadium.

Chris Wondolowski, who leads the Earthquakes in goals in 2012 (11), put one past Nielsen in the 85th minute. Wondolowski’s finish, a result of a cross from the right flank hit in by Beitashour, was San Jose’s first shot on goal of the evening.

The late game heroics by Wondolowski did not go unmatched as Teal Bunbury equalized just seconds later. C.J. Sapong received the ball from the restart and glided his way past several defenders before slipping a ball into the box for Bunbury. The Akron product smashed a right-footed shot past Busch to the far post to level the score.

•

Sporting Kansas City left winger Bobby Convey was an offseason acquisition for SKC who previously played at San Jose from 2009-2011. In three seasons with San Jose, Convey made 75 appearances tallying 6,438 minutes played.

Chris Wondolowski scored the first goal of the contest the last time Sporting KC met the Earthquakes. Wondolowski was teammates with Sporting Kansas City’s Matt Besler and Bobby Convey in the 2011 MLS All-Star game versus Manchester United at Red Bull Arena.

Sporting KC midfielder Jacob Peterson also had a short stint playing for San Jose spending half of 2011 playing for the Earthquakes making nine appearances and tallying two assists.

Kei Kamara also had a short spell playing for San Jose.

Kamara spent half of the 2008 season playing for the Earthquakes appearing in 12 games and making 11 starts.

San Jose midfielder Anthony Ampaipitakwong played collegiate soccer at the University of Akron for a duration of four year from 2007-2010. Sporting Kansas City striker Teal Bunbury was teammates with Ampaipitakwong for two seasons (2008-2009) before earning a Generation adidas contract and beginning to play professionally.

Steven Beitashour played 90 minutes versus Sporting Kansas City in their last meeting and notched the game-tying assist.

San Jose midfielder Marvin Chavez has earned 27 caps with the Honduras national team where he was teammates with Roger Espinoza who has tallied 23 caps.

San Jose forward Alan Gordon and Sporting Kansas City midfielder Paulo Nagamura were teammates from 20052006 when they played together at the LA Galaxy. Nagamura and Gordon met again a few years later during the 2010 season when both players joined Chivas USA. Steven Lenhart will serve a suspension during Sunday’s game for yellow card accumulation.

Sporting Kansas City defender Matt Besler was teammates with San Jose midfielder Justin Morrow at the University of Notre Dame from 2006-2008. Morrow was also teammates with Michael Thomas at ND from 2006-2009.

Thomas was selected by the San Jose Earthquakes in the second round (19th overall pick) of the 2010 Major League Soccer SuperDraft. Thomas opted to leave the states to play overseas. Upon his return Sporting Kansas City had acquired Thomas’ MLS rights from San Jose in exchange for a fourth round-pick in the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft.

San Jose defender Tim Ward and Sporting Kansas City defender Michael Harrington played for various youth United States national teams. Both Ward and Harrington were selected as part of the Under-20 team at the 2005 World Youth Championship. Ward had to miss the tournament due to an injury.

San Jose goalkeeper Evan Newton played collegiate soccer at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. His freshman year, Newton helped ODU reach the 2006 NCAA Tournament Third Round, posting a 1-0 upset of No. 10 North Carolina on the road. The loss ended Michael Harrington’s career at UNC. Both Newton and Harrington attended the Residency Program in Bradenton, Fla. prior to starting their respective college careers.

Harrington and San Jose’s Ike Opara were both born in North Carolina a little over an hour and a half apart.

San Jose midfielder Khari Stephenson began his MLS career playing for Kansas City in 2004. Stephenson was initially drafted by the Chicago Fire in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft but did not make the Fire team. Instead Stephenson was traded to Kansas City where he spent two seasons with the then Wizards and made nine regular season appearances, only three of which were during his rookie campaign in 2004. Ironically, Stephenson became a starter in the playoffs that same year, starting three of the four games in the run for the MLS Cup and even tallying a goal.

The award ceremony was held in Turin, Italy last Tuesday. Heineman, Cliff Illig and Mike Illig attended the ceremony.

Other nominees for Venue of the Year included the site of the 2012 NBA All-Star Game (Amway Center) and 2011 Rugby World Cup (Forsyth Barr Stadium), as well as the home of Brighton & Hove Albion FC (The American Express Community Stadium).

The club’s state-of-the-art facility, opened to rave reviews in June 2011, has already hosted the U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Teams, along with the English Premier League’s Newcastle United FC and Mexico’s Club Deportivo Guadalajara. The stadium was selected to host the group stage of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup and served as the site for the semifinals and championship matches of the CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament in April of 2012. The stadium is set to host Stoke City FC of the Barclay’s Premier League in August.

Last Game Earthquakes 3, LA Galaxy 2; May 23, 2012; The Home Depot Center; Carson, Calif.

The Earthquakes rallied from a two-goal deficit to earn a 3-2 result against the defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy Wednesday night at The Home Depot Center thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Alan Gordon. San Jose thus moved into the top spot in both the Western Conference and Supporters’ Shield standings. The victory was San Jose’s first at The Home Depot Center since a 3-1 decision on Oct. 15, 2005. The match also marked the first time the club has come from 2-0 back to win since May 4, 2002, against the Columbus Crew. Three minutes after the Galaxy went ahead 2-0 in the 73rd, the Earthquakes began their climb with Steven Lenhart’s fifth goal of the season. The Southern California native headed home a Marvin Chavez corner kick to cut the Galaxy’s lead in half. Six minutes later, Jason Hernandez earned a penalty after blasting a shot toward the target that David Beckham handled inside the area. Khari Stephenson slotted the ensuing penalty past Galaxy goalkeeper Brian Perk to pull San Jose even. The comeback was complete four minutes into stoppage time. Once again, Hernandez was the originator, launching a long pass that bounced into the box before Gordon touched a header over Perk to seal San Jose’s win. Gordon’s goal was his third in as many games in the 88th minute or later. The previous two came in 1-1 draws against Chivas USA on May 13 and the Columbus Crew on May 19. Collectively, San Jose has scored six goals in the 88th minute or later, five of which helped the club earn a win or tie.

Last Game vs. Sporting Kansas City Earthquakes 1, Sporting Kansas City 1; Oct. 1, 2011; Buck Shaw Stadium; Santa Clara, Calif.

The Earthquakes and Sporting Kansas City fought to a late 1-1 draw in the last meeting between the two teams at Buck Shaw Stadium in October. Chris Wondolowski opened the scoring in the 85th minute with a left-footed volley following a cross from Steven Beitashour.

The goal was Wondolowski’s 12th of the season. Sporting KC wasted no time scoring the equalizer just moments later. Teal Bunbury hammered home the bouncing pass from C.J. Sapong from eight yards out. The Quakes tallied 15 shots in the first half, none of which were on target.

San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Kansas City, May 27, 2012, 1:30 p.m. PT OPPONENT INFO Sporting Kansas City Scouting Report Sporting Kansas City (7-3-1, 22 pts.) had lost three straight after seven consecutive wins to open the 2012 season, before a 2-2 road draw at the Colorado Rapids last Saturday. SKC had taken a 2-0 lead through a Teal Bunbury brace over the first 14 minutes in the third-year forward’s second start of 2012 before the host Rapids produced their comeback, getting first goals of the year from defenders Tyrone Marshall and Kosuke Kimura in the 52nd and 60th minutes, respectively. Over this four-game stretch, Sporting have fallen from the top of the Eastern Conference standings, where they also completed the 2011 regular season, now into third behind the New York Red Bulls (8-3-2, 26 pts.) and D.C. United (7-4-3, 24 pts.). Former Quake Kei Kamara leads SKC with four goals, while fellow forward C.J. Sapong and defender Aurelien Collin have tallied three apiece. Midfield general Graham Zusi has six assists, second-most in MLS, with a league-best four of them coming on game-winners, but like Quakes striker Chris Wondolowski, is likely to miss Sunday’s match-up due to a U.S. Men’s National Team call-up.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES Quakes Back Atop the Western Conference With a three-goal rally over the final quarter-hour at The Home Depot Center on Wednesday night, the San Jose Earthquakes (8-2-3, 27 pts.) vaulted into the top spots of both the Western Conference and MLS Supporters’ Shield standings. San Jose is one point ahead of Real Salt Lake (8-3-2, 26 pts.) in the West, now on equal games. Seattle Sounders FC is currently third (7-3-2, 23 pts.) with one game in hand. The Quakes’ 27 points put them ahead of Eastern Conference leaders New York Red Bulls (8-3-2, 26 pts.). RSL hosts FC Dallas on Saturday (6 p.m. PT), while Seattle plays at Chivas USA on Saturday (7:30 p.m. PT).

Wondolowski Called to U.S. Men’s National Team Training Camp Star Quakes forward Chris Wondolowski was named on Sunday to the U.S. Men’s National Team training camp roster by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. He reported the same day to Orlando, Fla. Wondolowski was part of an 11-player second wave of call-ups for this camp following Saturday’s MLS action, after 16 initial selections were made largely from internationally-based candidates early last week. The group of 27 will vie for 23 spots on the squad set to contest a rigorous five-game slate from May 26 to June 12, with a trio of friendlies preceding the first two CONCACAF qualifiers for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Having made his debut for the U.S. MNT on Jan. 22, 2011, Wondolowski has earned seven full caps. The MLS scoring leader with 11 goals, he will miss San Jose’s match Wednesday night at the LA Galaxy. Should he make Klinsmann’s final 23-player list, he will also miss Sunday’s road date with Sporting Kansas City.

Quakes Leading MLS Offensive Categories Through games played on May 23, the Earthquakes are tied for first in MLS with 26 goals scored, matched only by East leaders New York Red Bulls. The Quakes and D.C. United each have an MLS-best 28 assists on the year. With 15 scores conceded, the Quakes boast the top goal differential in MLS at +11.

Race for the Budweiser Golden Boot Chris Wondolowski is now tied atop the 2012 Budweiser Golden Boot race with Kenny Cooper of the New York Red Bulls at 11 goals apiece. Wondolowski will likely miss a second straight game due to international duty when the Quakes play at Sporting Kansas City on Sunday. Cooper’s teammate, Thierry Henry, is back in action after a four-game injury absence, and in third-place with nine goals. MLS newcomer Saer Sene of New England and D.C. United’s Maicon Santos have scored six times each to round out the top five.

Gordo to the Rescue Alan Gordon’s game-winning goal at the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night was his fourth of the year, fifth as a Quakes player and 26th of his career. The game marked Gordon’s third straight with a goal, with all three coming in the 88th minute or later, resulting in five points for San Jose. All five of his strikes have served as either the game-winning (two) or game-tying (three) scores late (final 23 minutes) during second-half substitute appearances to earn nine points in all for the Quakes. Four of Gordon’s five goals for San Jose have come via header, with the strike at LA his first as a Quake away from Buck Shaw Stadium. Having begun his MLS career in 2004 with the Galaxy, Gordon has now scored a total of four goals in three career appearances against his former club, with all four coming at The Home Depot Center.

Gordon’s Incredible Stretch Alan Gordon is just the third player in MLS history to have scored in three consecutive games with all three scores coming in the 88th minute or later. His three late tallies have come vs. Chivas USA on May 13, vs. Columbus on May 19 and at the LA Galaxy on May 23, in the 88th, 90th and 94th minutes, respectively. The first two were of the game-tying variety, with the Galaxy strike a winner. The other two players to have achieved the feat are Kenny Cooper and Danny Mwanga. Cooper accomplished it for FC Dallas in 2008, scoring at 93+, 89 and 93+ in three successive matches, the last two both game-tying, including one in a 1-1 home draw with San Jose on Oct. 2, 2008.

Mwanga, like Gordon a product of Oregon State, scored at 93+ (game-tying), 93+ (game-winning) and 92+ in three straight games as a rookie for the Philadelphia Union in 2010.

Rare Comeback San Jose scored three times over the last 14 minutes to turn a 2-0 deficit into a dramatic 3-2 win at the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night.

The last time a team came from two goals back to win, and the comeback started after the 75th minute in a non-overtime game, was on July 27, 2003, at Gillette Stadium. Visiting D.C. United, trailing 2-0, came back to win 4-2 over the New England Revolution thanks to four unanswered goals over the final seven minutes by Eliseo Quintanilla (83), Quintanilla again (91+), Dema Kovalenko (93+) and Alecko Eskandarian (93+).

Second-Half Scoring The Earthquakes lead all of MLS in second-half scoring, now with a total of 16 goals following the three they tallied at The Home Depot Center on Wednesday night. The Colorado Rapids and D.C. United have each produced 15 scores following the interval this season.

San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Kansas City, May 27, 2012, 1:30 p.m. PT Late Goals in Bunches San Jose paces the league in goals over the final 30 minutes with 15. That total is four better than the next best team, D.C. United. With all three goals against the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night coming after the 75-minute mark, the Quakes also lead MLS comfortably with an incredible 10 strikes over the final 15 minutes of contests. The Colorado Rapids are next on the list with six. The franchise record for such goals is 16 from the 1998 campaign. San Jose has five goals in 2012 in the 90th minute or later, with four in second-half stoppage.

Schedule Gets Testy The Quakes conclude a busy six-game month of May by both rounding out a second three-game week for 2012, as well as kicking off a season-long four-game road stretch. The first two road forays are to the two teams that finished atop the Western and Eastern Conference regular-season standings a year ago in the defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy (19-5-10, 67 pts. in 2011) and Sporting Kansas City (13-9-12, 51 pts.), respectively. The Quakes rallied to beat the Galaxy, 3-2, on Wednesday night. San Jose will have played three matches over a nine-day span upon its return from Kansas City, still with a US Open Cup tilt mixed in on May 29 at Stanford’s Cagan Stadium (7:30 p.m. PT). The Quakes concluded their first three-game week of the season with six points in eight days from April 28-May 5. This four-game road stretch will lead up to the highly-anticipated June 30 clash with the LA Galaxy at Stanford Stadium.

Date Change for Seattle Return The Earthquakes’ third and final meeting of 2012 with Sounders FC at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field has been moved to Saturday, Sept.

22, at 7:30 p.m. PT. The game was originally scheduled for the following night.

Goals Galore San Jose is tied with New York Red Bulls for first in MLS with 26 goals scored. D.C. United is second with 25. Through 13 matches, the Quakes are past the halfway mark to their 34-game 2011 total of 40 goals. San Jose scored 20 times over its first 13 matches in 2011.

The club record for single-season scoring is 55 from the 1997 campaign. That year, San Jose had 19 goals over its first 13 games.

Quakes Linking Up Through May 23, San Jose is tied with D.C. United for first in the MLS with 28 assists. Steven Beitashour’s assist on the 69th-minute game-winner against D.C. United on May 2 gave the third-year right back a team-leading five for 2012. Three have come from his off, left foot, and two from his natural right. He is tied for third in MLS. Beitashour, who led the team with seven helpers a year ago, has 12 assists in his last 30 appearances. Marvin Chavez is now tied for third as well in MLS with five assists, while fellow newcomer Tressor Moreno and Chris Wondolowski have three apiece.

Quakes Striking Early, Scoring Late The Earthquakes have tallied four goals in the first 15 minutes of games this year, with three of them coming on the road. The latest was a Chris Wondolowski header to open the scoring in the 15th minute in Vancouver on May 5. The other early strikes were vs. New England on March 10 (Wondolowski, 15th), at Toronto FC on March 24 (Wondolowski, 9th) and at New York on April 14 (Rafael Baca, 14th). San Jose has also found the back of opposing nets ten times within the final 15 minutes of matches in 2012. Those goals have all come in the last nine contests: vs. Vancouver on April 7 (Wondolowski, 78th); vs. RSL on April 21 (Simon Dawkins, 92+; Wondolowski, 93+); at Philadelphia on April 28 (Steven Lenhart, 76th; Lenhart, 93+); vs. Chivas USA on May 13 (Alan Gordon, 88th); vs. Columbus on May 19 (Gordon, 90th); at LA on May 23 (Lenhart, 76th; Khari Stephenson, 82nd; Gordon, 94+). The Quakes have now struck six times in the 88th minute or later this season.

Yallop No. 5 on MLS Wins List Eighth-year Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop currently is tied for the No. 5 spot on the MLS regular-season coaching wins chart at 103. He became just the sixth manager in MLS history to reach the 100-win milestone with a 3-1 home victory over Real Salt Lake on April 21. Yallop, whose career also includes a two-year stint with the LA Galaxy in 2006-07, is now 103-97-72 (.511) as an MLS head coach in regular-season matches. He ranks behind Sigi Schmid (163), Bruce Arena (131), Bob Bradley (124) and Steve Nicol (112), and is tied with former pupil Dominic Kinnear (103).

San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Kansas City, May 27, 2012, 1:30 p.m. PT Road Turnaround The Quakes have already eclipsed their 2011 total of three road wins, and after collecting just 15 points on their travels a year ago (3-86), they are already almost at that number with 13 through six road dates in 2012. Their 4-1-1 record is the Quakes’ best-ever six-game road start.

Marvelous Marvin Quakes midfielder Marvin Chavez returned to the pitch at the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night after missing the previous two matches with a hamstring injury picked up in the 2-1 loss at Vancouver on May 5. The Honduran speedster made an immediate impact after coming on in the 74th minute for Rafael Baca. Seconds later, he had earned a corner kick from the left wing. Chavez then took the corner kick, which served as the assist on Steven Lenhart’s opener to cut the San Jose deficit in half at the 76-minute mark. It was his fifth assist of the season, which ties him with Steven Beitashour for the team lead, and is his new single-season career high.

May 23 Wrap-Up With only its second-ever victory at The Home Depot Center, San Jose is now 2-7-2 in that building in MLS regular-season contests, and 2-9-2 when including postseason play … Khari Stephenson’s goal from the penalty spot was his second on the year and eighth for his career … Steven Lenhart’s opening goal was his fifth of the season, 10th in a Quakes jersey, and 23rd of his MLS career … Jason Hernandez, who captained the side against LA, provided his third career assist on the game-winner … The helper was the first for Hernandez since July 10, 2010, at Philadelphia … Forward Sercan Guvenisik made his first MLS start … Having received a caution in the 47th minute, Lenhart will miss the Sporting Kansas City game due to yellow-card accumulation … With Wednesday’s result, the Quakes open up a 16-point bulge on their arch-rivals from the South, who remain bottom in the West.

Yallop’s Super Subs The May 23 match at the LA Galaxy marked the fourth time this season that the Quakes have used second-half substitutions by head coach Frank Yallop to earn points late. Of his three changes at The Home Depot Center, Marvin Chavez assisted on the opener, Khari Stephenson scored the equalizer, and Alan Gordon provided the winner. Against Columbus on May 19, Yallop sent Gordon on for Steven Lenhart in the 60th minute, with the veteran striker ultimately rewarding his manager with a thrilling 90th-minute equalizer.

Gordon and rookie Sam Garza entered the fray over the final 33 minutes against Chivas USA on May 13, with the duo combining on the 88th-minute equalizer in another 1-1 draw. At Philadelphia on April 28, Yallop used just two of his allotted three substitutions, inserting Chavez and Lenhart together with half an hour left for Sam Cronin and Tressor Moreno. All the duo did was combine for two goals and two assists as the speedy Honduran winger fed the target forward for headers on both Quakes strikes, from the left and right side, respectively, during a dramatic 2-1 victory.

Thirteen-Game Superlatives At 8-2-3 and 27 points, this is the best 13-game start to a year in the San Jose Earthquakes’ 15-season club history. In the first MLS Cup campaign of 2001, the Quakes trotted out to a 7-2-4 start for 25 points, the second-best start in club history. They were 7-4-2 (23 pts.) in 2002 and 6-2-5 (23 pts.) in 2003. The Quakes’ 26 goals scored is their best 13-game output ever. They tallied 21 goals through 13 games in 1998 and 2001, and 22 in 2004. With 15 goals conceded thus far, this equals the franchise’s third-best 13-game defensive start. San Jose allowed 13 goals over its first 13 matches in 2001 and 2002.

A-Head of the Pack Steven Lenhart’s goal in the 76th minute and Alan Gordon’s game-winner at 94+ at LA on May 23 pushed the Quakes’ league-leading total of headed goals to 13. San Jose had a string of six straight headed goals going back to Chris Wondolowski’s equalizer at New York on April 14, snapped against D.C. United on May 2. After Wondolowski’s goal at New York, all three goals versus RSL (4/21) were on headers, as were the two scores in Philadelphia (4/28). Wondolowski tops the squad with five header goals. Gordon and Lenhart have three each, while Simon Dawkins and Khari Stephenson have one apiece.

Wondolowski Earns Third Career MLS Player of the Month Honor Chris Wondolowski was named on May 2 as the MLS Player of the Month for April, as voted on by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR). Wondolowski produced four goals and two assists as the Quakes went an undefeated 3-0-1 in the month and vaulted to the top spot in the Western Conference. He received eight of 21 first-place votes, one more than Sporting Kansas City defender Aurelien Collin.

It was Wondolowski’s third monthly honor of his career following back-to-back torrid October run-ins to the 2010 and 2011 campaigns.

He celebrated this latest award by posting his third brace already of 2012 just hours later, including his league-leading fourth gamewinning goal, to lead the Quakes to a 5-3 victory over D.C. United and sole possession of first-place in the West at the time.

Wondolowski…Can’t…Stop…Scoring Chris Wondolowski continues to occupy MLS headlines. With his third two-goal brace of 2012 in the 5-3 win over D.C. United on May 2, he became the fastest player in league history to reach the 10-goal mark for a season, needing only San Jose’s first nine matches. Raul Diaz Arce tallied 10 goals over his first eight games of the 1997 season for D.C. United, but having missed time through injury, scored his 10th in D.C.’s 16th game of the year at Dallas on July 4, 1997. Wondolowski’s brace also broke the club record for multi-goal games that he shared with Ronald Cerritos, now at nine such performances. Wondolowski’s opener meant goal No. 50 for his eight-year MLS career, with his 69th-minute header proving to increase his club-record haul of game-winners to 19. The Danville native has 19 goals over his last 21 games.

Unbeaten Stretch Snapped in Vancouver The Earthquakes took the longest unbeaten streak in MLS into Vancouver on May 5, but had it snapped at seven matches following a last-gasp 2-1 defeat. San Jose had gone 6-0-1 since its first loss of the year on March 17. It was the Quakes’ longest undefeated stretch since a nine-game run in 2008 from July 12-Sept. 13. San Jose was just 4-0-5 during that period, however, for 17 points out of 27, whereas they collected 19 points from 21 during this stretch. The Quakes last had this successful a seven-game period in 2005, in the middle of their club-record 14-game unbeaten streak (11-0-3). From Aug. 27-Oct. 1 that year, San Jose went an identical 6-0-1.

Steven Lenhart in Select Company With back-to-back two-goal braces within a five-day span on April 28 and May 2, Steven Lenhart became just the fifth player in club history to produce multi-goal performances in consecutive league games. Landon Donovan (Sept. 20-27, 2003), Ariel Graziani (June 18, 2002), Manny Lagos (July 14-18, 2001) and Paul Bravo (July 17-20, 1996) are the others.

Quakes Hit for Five On May 2 against D.C. United, San Jose scored five goals in a single game for the first time since the Quakes rejoined MLS as an expansion franchise prior to the 2008 season. It was the most goals they have produced since a 5-5 draw with the MetroStars inside Spartan Stadium on May 8, 2004. The five goals were also an MLS high for Buck Shaw Stadium, with the Quakes having tallied four goals there previously on four separate occasions, most recently the 4-2 win over FC Dallas in the 2011 season finale on Oct. 22. The

San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Kansas City, May 27, 2012, 1:30 p.m. PT eight combined goals by the two teams were also a Buck Shaw record, and the most in a Quakes game since the 5-5 affair in 2004. The eight goals were the most this season in MLS, edging the seven scored in New York’s 5-2 home defeat of Montreal on March 31, and the most in MLS since a 4-4 draw at PPL Park between Philadelphia and New England on Sept. 7, 2011.

Class in the Back Against Real Salt Lake (4/21) and Philadelphia (4/28), Frank Yallop’s four-player defensive line consisted of three fellow members of San Jose’s 2010 MLS SuperDraft class: Ike Opara (1st Round, No. 3, Wake Forest) at center back, Justin Morrow (2nd Round, No. 28, Notre Dame) at left back and Steven Beitashour (2nd Round, No. 30, San Diego State) at right back. The two starts were the first on the year for Opara. Morrow was the starting left back for the first two times this year in the injury absence of captain Ramiro Corrales, after beginning each of the first six contests at center back.

Quakes Shaking Up Opponents’ Record Streaks The Quakes have put an end to a pair of lengthy, record shutout streaks by their opponents of 400-plus minutes this season. At home against Vancouver on April 7, Chris Wondolowski’s equalizer in the 68th minute halted a 427-minute shutout stretch for the ‘Caps, a new MLS record to begin a season. On April 28 at Philadelphia, Steven Lenhart opened the scoring in the 76th minute, stopping a clean stretch of 407 minutes for the Union defense, a franchise record.

Corrales in Exclusive 200-Start Club Veteran defender and team captain Ramiro Corrales made the 200th start of his San Jose career against the Houston Dynamo on March 17. He thus became the 19th player in league history to draw 200 starts for one club. Corrales is the franchise’s all-time leader in games played (226), starts (208) and minutes played (18,489). Now in his 11th season in San Jose, Corrales played in his 200th game for the Earthquakes on July 2, 2011, against the New York Red Bulls. He made his MLS debut as a 19-year-old on April 28, 1996, at the LA Galaxy. The list of (now 20) players who have made 200-plus starts with one MLS club follows (bold are still active with listed teams): 1. C.J. Brown – 290 starts for CHI 2. Jaime Moreno – 288 starts for DC 3. Cobi Jones – 281 starts for LA 4. Shalrie Joseph – 249 starts for NE 5. Kevin Hartman – 238 starts for LA 5. Jay Heaps – 238 starts for NE 7.

And Then There Was One Ramiro Corrales is the lone remaining active player in MLS who participated in the league’s inaugural 1996 season. Defender Frankie Hejduk (LA Galaxy) and goalkeeper Zack Thornton (Chivas USA) made a handful of appearances in 2011. Hejduk officially announced his retirement and joined the Columbus Crew front office on April 19. Corrales was the youngest to play in MLS in 1996 as a 19-year-old.

Hernandez Moving Up Club Record Book Against Real Salt Lake in front of the home crowd at Buck Shaw Stadium on April 21, Quakes center back Jason Hernandez earned start No. 100 for him in club colors since he joined the Earthquakes prior to their return to MLS for the 2008 season. It was his first start of 2012. Hernandez is climbing the all-time club charts, as he is now No. 8 in both starts (106) and minutes played (9,432). Hernandez made his 100th appearance in an Earthquakes uniform in his 2012 debut when he entered the March 31 match at Seattle at halftime.

Busch Among MLS Career Leaders With a current mark of .749, Earthquakes goalkeeper Jon Busch is second on Major League Soccer’s all-time chart in career saves percentage. 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. Busch picked up the 63rd clean sheet of his 11-year MLS career on March 31 at Seattle Sounders FC, moving him into sole possession of seventh among the all-time leaders, ahead of former MLS and U.S. Men’s National Team standout Tony Meola. Busch has posted 17 shutouts in his three seasons as the starter in San Jose, to go along with his 21 during three seasons (2007-09) with the Chicago Fire, and 25 in five seasons (2002-06) with the Columbus Crew. Next on the list is former Quake Pat Onstad with 64. Busch is also No. 8 all-time in saves in MLS history with 831 over his career.

Wondolowski Aiming for No. 1 on Quakes’ Career Goals List Chris Wondolowski continues to chase Ronald Cerritos for No. 1 on the franchise career goals list. The Danville native has scored 17 goals over his last 17 matches and 19 in 21 dating back to the end of the 2011 season, to increase his career haul in San Jose to 48.

Cerritos is the club’s all-time leader with 61 goals from 1997-2001 and 2005.

Wondolowski 10th in MLS History to Notch 16 in 16 With his game-clincher against Real Salt Lake on April 21, Chris Wondolowski became the 10th player in MLS history to score 16 goals (or more) over a 16-game stretch. All 10 players achieved the feat over multiple seasons. The list follows, with the final season listed: Raul Diaz Arce (1997), Roy Lassiter (1997), Stern John (1999), Mamadou Diallo (2001), Diego Serna (2001), Carlos Ruiz (2003), Taylor Twellman (2003), Luciano Emilio (2007), Jeff Cunningham (2010), Chris Wondolowski (2012).

San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Kansas City, May 27, 2012, 1:30 p.m. PT Wondo the Road Warrior After completing the 2011 season in a tie with Fredy Montero of Seattle Sounders FC for the most goals scored away from home at nine apiece, Chris Wondolowski opened his new road account with a two-goal brace at Toronto FC in the Quakes’ 2012 road debut on March 24. In 2011, Wondolowski collected his ninth in San Jose’s last away fixture of the year with a 24th-minute strike against Seattle Sounders FC on Oct. 15 at CenturyLink Field, to pull even with Montero, who he opposed again on that same field on March 31 and came up with the game’s lone goal. Wondolowski currently leads MLS with five road goals in 2012, tied with Will Bruin (HOU) and Kenny Cooper (NY). He finished third in road goals in 2010 with eight, behind Dwayne De Rosario (10), then of Toronto FC, and Juan Pablo Angel (9), then of the New York Red Bulls. The list of MLS leaders in road goals since the start of the 2010 season follows: 1. Chris Wondolowski (SJ) – 22 2. Dwayne De Rosario (DC) – 17 3. Juan Pablo Angel (CHV) – 15 3. Fredy Montero (SEA) – 15 5. Fabian Espindola (RSL) – 10 5. Dominic Oduro (CHI) – 10 5. Marco Pappa (CHI) – 10 Wondo Winners Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski wasted little time in opening his goal-scoring account for the 2012 campaign, the two-time MLS leader needing just under 15 minutes of the season opener against the New England Revolution on March 10 to find the back of the net.

The right-footed strike from just outside the penalty area moved Wondolowski into sole possession of the all-time club record for gamewinning goals, which he previously shared with Quakes great Ronald Cerritos at 15 deciders apiece. With a league-best four in 2012, Wondolowski now has 19 career game-winners, and is up to 11th on the all-time MLS chart, tied with four others. While Jeff Cunningham compiled his record 40 winners in 365 appearances, Wondolowski’s current haul has come in just 123 games.

Since the start of the 2010 season, Wondolowski has accounted for the decisive goal in 18 of the Earthquakes’ 29 victories, or 62 percent. The list of MLS leaders in game-winning goals since the start of the 2010 season follows: 1. Chris Wondolowski (SJ) – 18 2. Alvaro Saborio (RSL) – 11 3. Fredy Montero (SEA) – 10 4. Dwayne De Rosario (DC) – 9 4. Brek Shea (FCD) – 9 Wondolowski Climbs into Three-Year Goal-Scoring Output List Chris Wondolowski has 11 goals so far in 2012. His goal at Vancouver on May 5 gave him 45 strikes since the start of the 2010 season, moving him into a tie for the eighth-best three-year haul in league history. Wondolowski is just five goals shy already of his 2011 total. He needed 30 matches to tally 11 goals in 2011, and 24 in 2010. He is on pace to challenge Roy Lassiter’s MLS single-season record of 27 goals from 1996. Below are the top 10 three-year goal-scoring performances in MLS history: 1. Raul Diaz Arce – 56 in 1996-98 2. Roy Lassiter – 55 in 1996-98 3. Carlos Ruiz – 50 in 2002-04 4. Mamadou Diallo – 47 in 2000-02 4. Taylor Twellman – 47 in 2002-04 6. Raul Diaz Arce – 46 in 1997-99 6. Roy Lassiter – 46 in 1997-99 8. Chris Wondolowski – 45 in 2010-12 8. Juan Pablo Angel – 45 in 2007-09 10. Roy Lassiter – 44 in 1998-2000 10. Taylor Twellman – 44 in 2005-07 The list of MLS leaders in goals since the start of the 2010 season follows: 1. Chris Wondolowski (SJ) – 45 2. Dwayne De Rosario (DC) – 35 3. Sebastien Le Toux (VAN) – 27 3. Alvaro Saborio (RSL) – 27 5. Juan Pablo Angel (CHV) – 25 5. Thierry Henry (NY) – 25 Making the First One Count The Earthquakes are 99-10-24 in their last 133 matches when scoring first, dating back to July 8, 2000. They finished 8-1-3 in 2008 when scoring first, 6-1-5 in 2009, an unbeaten 12-0-2 in 2010 and 7-4-5 last season. The Quakes are 5-1-0 in 2012. Prior to 2010, San Jose also went undefeated in 2001 (13-0-2), 2003 (11-0-1) and 2005 (14-0-5) when scoring first. The Earthquakes were 12-2-0 in 2002

San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Kansas City, May 27, 2012, 1:30 p.m. PT when finding the back of the net first, only giving up leads two times in losing 2-1 at the LA Galaxy on July 4, and falling at Kansas City by the same score on July 27. In 2004, the Quakes went 8-1-1 when scoring first, the best mark in MLS. The Quakes surrendered a 1-0 advantage and dropped a 2-1 decision at the LA Galaxy on July 4, 2004, losing for just the first time since July 27, 2002, when striking first. The Quakes are also impressive in the playoffs when scoring first, posting an 8-0-1 record all-time.

Scoring First Under Yallop During Frank Yallop’s tenure with San Jose, the Earthquakes are one of the best teams in the league when scoring the first goal. The team went 36-2-3 from 2001-03 when producing the first goal of the contest. 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 5-1-0 early in 2012. The Quakes are 74-9-18 (.822) 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 74-3-15 (.886) 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 5-0-0 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.

Wells Fargo Goals for Education Wells Fargo has again pledged to donate $250 for each goal the Earthquakes score in 2012 through the Goals for Education program.

With 26 goals through 13 games, the donated total for this season already stands at $6,500. Thanks to 40 goals in 2011, the partnership raised $10,000 for local youth soccer and athletic development programs a year ago. After fielding dozens of applications, the Earthquakes and Wells Fargo awarded 16 grants to deserving organizations, and with Quakes midfielder Anthony Ampaipitakwong on hand, made special check presentations at America SCORES Bay Area and Castro Valley Soccer Club in January.

Earthquakes, Wondolowski Support Street Soccer USA Two-time MLS leading goal-scorer Chris Wondolowski and Street Soccer USA, a non-profit organization that seeks to end homelessness through sports, have partnered to make a difference in the lives of the homeless in the Bay Area through the “One Goal at a Time” campaign. For every goal Wondolowski scores during the 2012 season, the Quakes star has pledged a $100 donation to Street Soccer USA (SSUSA), and is asking fans to join in his mission. Additionally, the Earthquakes Community Fund will match Wondolowski’s donations. Wondolowski, who has been a national ambassador for SSUSA since August of 2011, got an early start on his 2012 scoring account with a strike in San Jose’s season opener on March 10, and currently has a league-leading 11 goals.

Quakes Get Go-Ahead from San Jose Planning Commission on New Stadium The San Jose Planning Commission voted 6-0 to uphold the Earthquakes’ Planned Development Permit on Feb. 22, paving the way for the club to break ground on its new stadium at 1125 Coleman Avenue. The Earthquakes’ PD Permit was initially consented for approval by city planners on Dec. 14, but was appealed by a Newhall Neighborhood Association member on Jan. 1. Fans clad in Earthquakes colors filled the council chambers to capacity. Owner Lew Wolff, Club President Dave Kaval and MLS President Mark Abbott spoke on behalf of the Quakes, among numerous community members and stakeholders, for over two hours before the commission closed discussion and took action on the appeal. The club has already sold 10 of 12 available field-level luxury suites for its new stadium, generating over $3.5 million in revenue for the project. For more information about the remaining suites, visit www.sjearthquakes.com/newstadium, email suites@sjearthquakes.com or call 408-556-7700.

Up Next: Brief Break from Road Ventures with US Open Cup Tilt at Stanford’s Cagan Stadium In the middle of a four-game MLS road stretch, the Quakes will play host to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers (NASL) at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium on the campus of Stanford University on Tuesday, May 29, in the third round of the US Open Cup. Kick-off is set for 7:30 p.m.
