Wondolowski propels Quakes
Chris Wondolowski scored twice in a fourminute span and the visiting San Jose Earthquakes beat Real Salt Lake 21 on Friday night for their third straight victory.
San Jose (310) won for the first time at Rio Tinto Stadium since 2013, going 133. Salt Lake (210) was looking for its first threegame winning streak to begin a season since 2011.
Wondolowski tied it in the 83rd minute by tapping in a rebound after David Ochoa got a hand on Carlos Fierro’s shot. Fierro’s cross in the 87th found the head of Wondolowski to win it.
Wondolowski has 12 career goals against RSL — his most against any MLS opponent.
Rubio Rubin opened the scoring in the 43rd by settling a glancing header with his chest and, with his back to the goal, sending a bicycle kick past the outstretched arm of goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski.
Super League: Only nine of the 12 European clubs who launched an illfated bid to form a Super League have agreed to a peace deal with UEFA and accepted being fined millions of dollars.
The remaining trio of rebels are at risk of being banned from the Champions League for not renouncing the breakaway. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have refused to approve what UEFA on Friday called “reintegration measures,” and they will be referred to UEFA disciplinary bodies for sanctions after backing the new largely closed competition.
The Super League project imploded three weeks ago after the English clubs — Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham — backed out inside 48 hours after a backlash from the fans and British government.
