Another Wondo-nothing victory propels Quakes past SKC in the Western Conference standings
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Bright sunshine greeted a sold-out crowd at Avaya Stadium Sunday afternoon, as the San Jose Earthquakes defeated the visiting Sporting Kansas City 1-0 on Chris Wondolowski's second half penalty kick.
The strike from the spot was Wondo's 116th all-time in his MLS career, and his seventh so far in 2016. The Earthquakes forward now sits alone at the top of the league's scoring list this season.
San Jose improved to 4-0-1 at home with the result, as the Quakes moved into a three-way tie with Real Salt Lake and the LA Galaxy for third place in the Western Conference.
