Match Recap

San Jose Earthquakes needed just two minutes to set the tone, and barely any longer to put real daylight between themselves and Real Salt Lake. Ousseni Bouda struck inside the opening 120 seconds, Benjamin Kikanovic doubled it in the 17th minute, and suddenly a team that had gone five Major League Soccer games without a win, four draws and a loss, looked like a different side. Real Salt Lake, riding three wins in their last five, hit back through Juan Sanabria in the 23rd minute, but the response stalled there, and San Jose held on for 2-1. It's a result with extra weight: San Jose hadn't beaten Real Salt Lake in either of their last two meetings, managing just a draw and a loss. This time the slow start belonged to the visitors. Go back to the second minute and watch Bouda ghost in for the opener that set the whole afternoon in motion.
