Rookie defender Jack Jasinski subbed in and scored in the last minute of second-half stoppage time after Real Salt Lake took a late lead, giving the San Jose Earthquakes<\/a> a dramatic 1-1 draw in Sandy, Utah on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Jasinski entered in the 59th minute before scoring unassisted in the fifth minute of stoppage time for his second goal in his first 16 MLS appearances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that situation, we\u2019re down a goal. It\u2019s at the end of the game, and there\u2019s nothing to lose,\u201d said Jasinski, a second-round pick from Princeton in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft. \u201cI was playing right back and got myself in the box. And when you\u2019re in the box, you know anything can happen. Fortunately, the ball came and bounced pretty high out to me. I hit it and it fortunately went in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasinski\u2019s goal extended the Earthquakes\u2019 unbeaten streak<\/a> to eight league matches. Fourth-place San Jose (13-8-8) needed a win and some help to clinch a playoff spot in the Western Conference on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Real Salt Lake defender Luc de Fougerolles used assists from defender Juan Manuel Sanabria and 19-year-old Aiden Hezarkhani to score his first goal in his second MLS appearance, giving RSL a 1-0 lead in the 79th minute. It was the eighth assist for Sanabria in his first season.<\/p>\n

RSL (9-14-6) was a minute away from notching just its second win in its last 11 MLS matches when San Jose extended its road magic and put together the game-tying score .<\/p>\n

San Jose\u2019s Preston Judd<\/a> curled a ball toward the box that Sanabria deflected in the air. Jasinski, perfectly positioned on the right side at the edge of the six-yard box, volleyed it past Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Rafael Cabral to equalize late and steal a point for the Quakes..<\/p>\n

San Jose, which entered with the second-most points on the road this season with\u00a0 25 \u2014 two less than Inter Miami, improved to 7-4-5 away from home and has gone 4-0-4 during its unbeaten run.<\/p>\n

Real Salt Lake, meanwhile has gone 1-5-2 since the start of September but is 9-4-3 overall at home.<\/p>\n

After a first half devoid of strong scoring chances, both teams nearly scored with around 20 minutes to play.<\/p>\n

In the 72nd minute, the Quakes won a corner and Timo Werner picked out Reid Roberts, but his glancing header floated over the crossbar. In minute 76, RSL\u2019s Aiden Hezarkhani took a pass in the box, turned and fired, but Quakes defender Ian Harkes got just enough of the shot to redirect it wide of the far post.<\/p>\n

Angus Gunn totaled six saves in his 12th career start for the Quakes.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

San Jose\u2019s next shot at clinching its first playoff\u00a0 berth since 2023 comes Saturday at 7:30 p.m. when it hosts Nashville SC (20-3-6) at PayPal Park. Nashville is in first place in the Eastern Conference with an MLS-best 66 points, 14 more than Miami CF and West leader Vancouver, which each have the league\u2019s second-highest point total.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rookie defender Jack Jasinski subbed in and scored in the last minute of second-half stoppage time after Real…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":496742,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[184,7,402,181,7332,11203,100,88,1084,90,89,198,1083,200,127],"class_list":["post-496741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-bay-area","tag-california","tag-inside-sports","tag-latest-headlines","tag-major-league-soccer","tag-mls","tag-news","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-earthquakes","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-santa-clara-county","tag-soccer","tag-south-bay","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
