US EditionEarthquakes Use First-Half Goal From Josef Martínez to Beat San Diego 1-0
Josef Martínez scored his 13th goal this season assisted by Cristian Arango as San Jose goalkeeper Daniel De Sousa Britto secured his fifth clean sheet with three saves, officials said.
- On Saturday night at Snapdragon Stadium, the San Jose Earthquakes defeated San Diego FC 1-0 with an early goal by Josef Martinez.
- The Earthquakes’ lead resulted from Christian Arango’s assist that unlocked a patchwork San Diego defense, completed by Martinez’s shot in the 14th minute.
- San Diego generated seven additional shots with an expected goals total of 1.45 but were unable to find the net, resulting in their first defeat against a fellow California team and ending a two-month stretch without a home victory.

- San Diego holds a strong record of 17-9-6 and shares first place in the Western Conference with Vancouver at 57 points as they gear up for their final two road games before the postseason begins on October 24.
