The New York Red Bulls continued to ride a wave of momentum taking out the San Jose Earthquakes 5-1 with great performances from Sacha Kljestan and Connor Lade. The latter went down with an injury in the first half, but Kljestan continued to tear things up getting his first MLS goal of the season in the second half.
The opener was set up by Kljestan and Lade with some accurate passing on the wing. Lade then sent the ball into Sean Davis who popped it up then struck it on the half-volley - a rocket of an attempt that blasted past David Bingham into the near corner of the net.
