Earthquakes vs. Sounders: Highlights, stats, and quotes
The Seattle Sounders remained winless in 2024, falling 3-2 to the San Jose Earthquakes despite erasing a 2-0 deficit that included their first goal of the season from open play. The Quakes scored two goals in quick succession just before halftime, only for the Sounders to come roaring back in the second half. But less than a minute after Danny Musovski headed in Cody Baker’s cross to tie the score, the Quakes were back ahead when Jeremy Ebobisse got the game-winner.
The Sounders next travel to play the LA Galaxy next Saturday.
