San Jose Earthquakes vs the La Galaxy

On June 29 2019 San Jose Earthquakes would take on la Galaxy at Stanford. Everyone knows this game is going to be hard because La galaxy is 2nd place and the quakes are in 5th. as we were walking inside we saw three people sky gliding and who were going to land on the field itself! When we found our places to sit we were watching both teams practice for the game. I was mostly watching the quakes training. I was hoping they would win this game instead of losing, like against the New York Red bulls. In a few minutes the players were ready to start the  game At 7:15 local time the referee Kevin Stott blew his whistle begin an exciting game.

In the first few minutes the Quakes were keeping the ball away from La galaxy. At the 11″min the quakes had a free kick in a dangerous position. Vako passed the ball to Eriksson who passed the ball back to him. In a few seconds GOAL San Jose at the 11″minute goalscorer Vako Qazaishvilli #11. SJ Earthquakes 1-0 LA Galaxy. The crowd was celebrating for a long time.

As the game went on the Quakes were just keeping possession for sometime and got 1 shot on target. The galaxy got the ball to Dave Romney who tried a volley, but an easy save from Daniel Vega the goalkeeper.

Then the game was over I was very happy the Earthquakes one this game, My dad was shocked in how they played today instead of seeing how they played against the New York Red bulls. We stayed at the stadium seats and waited for somebody to finish talking before we go out of the stadium. When it was over we started to go back down and get water. After we both drank water we headed to the exit. When we were both exiting they gave us a free paper to eat fries at Jack in the box. I figured out that they only did that because the Quakes won the game. At the signal there were 50,000 people going to their cars. At my dads car he drove us home and I went to bed because it was 10:00 in the night. I really enjoyed the game I hope I can see another game in which the Quakes win. Goodbye for now.
