Chris Wondolowski one goal closer to MLS record, but road woes continue

It was a thing of beauty. Not a classic poacher’s goal, but a skill-check maneuver that provided a little bit of solace to an otherwise forgettable evening.

The score was 3-1 Sporting Kansas City as the game entered stoppage time, and the San Jose Earthquakes looked left for dead. But Magnus Eriksson, who had been a machine throughout the 90 minutes, collected a ball just past the center line and, almost instinctively, floated a ball towards the penalty area.

Chris Wondolowski made a darting run into the box, and, when the ball skimmed just over the man-bun of Graham Zusi, the Quakes captain was there to measure up the situation.
