Could a player who has scored 144 career goals really cause a scene by scoring a few more?
That’s exactly what Chris Wondolowski did on Saturday by tying and later breaking Landon Donovan’s record for career goals in MLS. However, it wasn’t just the goals – or the record – that made the day very, very unique. It was a host of surrounding circumstances that led to the milestone.
Wondolowski most recently scored on Oct. 6, 2018. He hadn’t scored in 12 appearances since and last started during the club’s 5-0 loss to LAFC on March 30, which dropped the Quakes to 0-4-0.
