San Jose earthquakes on Saturday see to translate their excellent crime into more consistent results when hosting the New York Red Bulls.
San Jose (7-7-6, 27 points) scored 40 goals in the league and 40 goals, although the attack is allowed by 32 goals of the team-the fourth highest at the conference.
For defensive breakdown, this penchant has left the earthquake unable to completely capitalize on its top level scoring capacity.
Last Saturday, a 1–1 draw with Los Angeles Galaxy marked the fourth draw of San Jose for the fourth time this season that the opposing team scored the last goal of the match as an equiliber.
“I think just mentally, (we) has strengthened to shut down the games and secure three points,” the earthquake midfielder Bu Leroux said, who has scored in consecutive matches. “I think we have lost a little attention, but still lucky to get a point.”
New York (8-7-5, 29 points) received a short magic from Eric Maxim Choopo-Motor in a 2–2 draw with Minnesota United last Saturday. Red Bulls disappeared 1-0 initial lead before Haftime, but Chupo-Motor saved a draw with a single in the 90th minute. Nevertheless, Red Bulls’s winning streak rose to three matches (0–1-2).
Christian Arngo lead an earthquake with 10 goals, and Joseph Martinez has eight long in just 939 minutes of action. Christian Espinoza is challenging for League Assist lead with 11 in this season.
New York head coach Sandro Schrez credited the earthquake attack and said “they are very aggressive in their defensive behavior. So I expect a very intensive game on Saturday. We have to defend very well in completely and especially small details.”
Red Bulls’ stingy Raksha has scored only 24 goals in their 20 matches. The crime has been led by the Chupo-Motor, whose 11 goals have put forward in the golden boot race.
This season has earthquakes 3-3-4 in home matches, while Red Bulls have won only once (1-6-3) on 10 distance dates.
