SAN JOSE, Calif. – Cristian Espinoza scored a goal and assisted on another by Chris Wondolowski, and the San Jose Earthquakes beat Los Angeles FC 3-2 on Wednesday night to clinch a playoff berth.
Wondolowski, whose 166 career goals are the most in MLS history, scored on a volley in the 37th minute to give the Earthquakes a 2-1 lead. Espinoza lobbed an entry from the left side to the far post where Wondolowski tapped it home.
San Jose (8-8-6) played a man down after Jackson Yueill was shown a second yellow card in the 61st minute.
LAFC (9-8-4) had its three-game unbeaten streak snapped.
Latif Blessing scored in the 23rd minute to give LAFC a 1-0 lead but an own goal by Eduard Atuesta tied it about five minutes later.
Espinoza took a cross from Shea Salinas and whipped in a side-netter to give San Jose a 3-1 lead. Salinas moved past Ronaldo Cerritos to become the Earthquakes’ career leader with 49 assists.
Diego Rossi capped the scoring in stoppage time with his MLS-leading 14th goal of the season.
The match was originally slated for Nov. 1, but was rescheduled after three LAFC players tested positive for COVID-19.
