The youth movement is alive and well in San Jose
The San Jose Earthquakes fielded a noticeably young starting lineup for their international friendly against Liga MX leaders Cruz Azul this past weekend. Gilbert Fuentes, Eric Calvillo, JT Marcinkowski, Yeferson Quintana, Luis Felipe and Nick Lima, all under 24-years-old, held Cruz Azul to a scoreless draw at Avaya Stadium.
Among San Jose’s starters were 16-year-old Homegrown Gilbert Fuentes, the Quakes’ youngest-ever player, and 20-year-old Eric Calvillo who both made their first start for the club.
"I felt like I got used to it fast," Gilbert Fuentes said.
