This is what a rehearsed signal is supposed to look like! Check out the beautiful goal Miguel Trauco scored against Seattle
The San Jose Earthquakes took a 2-0 win over the Seattle Sounders in their last match at home. The victory was aided by a well-taken corner kick, with Miguel Trauco scoring from a free kick after a rehearsed signal.
The San Jose Earthquakes were a 2-0 winner in their last match at home against the Seattle Sounders. Miguel Trauco scored on a well taken corner kick after a rehearsed signal from a free kick.
San Jose finally won again. The last time Luchi Gonzalez’s side did it was a month ago, when they beat the Philadelphia Union 2-1 on 11 June.
Then came a draw in Portland, two losses to Houston and St. Louis, followed by two draws against Los Angeles FC and Los Angeles Galaxy. The Earthquakes have won just one of their last six matches.
However, they ended the losing streak with a 2-0 home win at PayPal Park.
The fans didn’t have to wait too long for the first goal. Cristian Espinoza opened the scoring in the 19th minute, converting a penalty kick.
Jack Skahan tried to follow up his goal in the 47th minute, but the referee disallowed his goal after watching the video footage. However, the home side made up for it later in the second half, in the 65th minute.
And they did it in a truly impressive way. This time Espinoza acted as assistant when he headed a corner right onto Miguel Trauco’s boot. And he converted the rehearsed signal into a beautiful goal.
No more goals were scored until the end of the match, so San Jose defeated Seattle 2:0 and after a month its players could enjoy the victory.
The Californian team is currently in the fifth place of the Western Conference with 32 points. The Earthquakes are three points ahead of sixth-placed Austin and seventh-placed Dallas, while they are two points behind fourth-placed Real Salt Lake.
