Quakes get 1st win under new coach

Danny Hoesen scored the decisive goal in the 84th minute as the host Earthquakes, playing their first match for new coach Chris Leitch, advanced to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup with a 2-1 win over the Seattle Sounders on Wednesday night.

The Quakes, who had battled to a 1-1 draw with Seattle during a Major League Soccer match in San Jose on April 8, took a 1-0 lead Wednesday when Shea Salinas scored in the sixth minute. And despite playing one man down after Francisco Narbon received a red card in the 35th minute, the Sounders’ Aaron Kovar evened the match with a goal in the 48th minute.

The Quakes, however, re- sponded with the winner as Hoesen took a pass from Jackson Yueill, split three defenders, and fired a shot from close range past goalie Tyler Miller

The Quakes advance to a quarterfinals match in July against the Los Angeles Galaxy, who defeated Sacramento Republic 2-0.

Los Angeles and the Quakes will meet in an MLS match at Avaya Stadium in San Jose on Saturday.
