Quakes handle Salt Lake

Danny Hoesen scored his second goal of the season and assisted on Marco Ureña’s second goal, lifting the San Jose Earthquakes to a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake in an MLS match at Avaya Stadium on Saturday night.

Hoesen opened the scoring in the 13th minute off a long cross from Nick Lima. After touching the ball down, Hoesen gathered it off a defender’s foot, stepped inside and unleashed a left footer into the top corner from just off the penalty spot.

Hoesen’s long through ball down the right side sent Ureña free, and from a tight angle he rolled the ball past Nick Rimando in the 68th minute.

Lima picked up two yellow cards in the second half and the Quakes (6-6-5) played a man down from the 71st minute.

The game’s only score came when a corner kick by the Deltas’ Kyle Bekker to the far post hit the back of Edmonton’s Shawn Nicklaw and deflected into the goal.
