San Jose continues to roll, ousts Real Salt Lake. MORE:
The Earthquakes advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament and will face either Columbus or Minnesota United on Saturday in the final eight.
Eriksson scored on a penalty drawn by Tommy Thompson in the 49th minute to give the Earthquakes a 2-1 lead. A dozen minutes later, Vako Qazaishvili found Andres Rios on a diagonal run behind the Real Salt Lake defence. Rios passed back in front of goal where Vako had continued his run and easily beat RSL goalkeeper Zac MacMath.
But that was as close as RSL would get. RSL finished with 10 men after Marcelo Silva was given a red card in the 84th minute for a rough tackle San Jose’s Jackson Yueill, and two minutes later Wondolowski scored on a rebound. It was the third straight game with a goal for the league’s all-time leader in goals scored, although scores from the knockout stages of the tournament are not part of season or career statistics.
“I had a great feeling before both the penalty kicks so there was there was no doubt from my side,” Erickson said.
