Leagues Cup: Liga MX superpower Chivas, former Earthquakes player Cade Cowell, held in check until the last minute at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara
San Jose Earthquakes’ Cristian Espinoza looks at the ball against the LA Galaxy during the second half at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, Calif., on Saturday, June 29, 2024. But Chivas, the overwhelming favorite against the Earthquakes on Saturday night, showed why they are one of Mexico’s greatest teams when Roberto Alvarado streaked into space and popped the ball into the top corner to equalize in the 98th minute, seven minutes into stoppage time at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
The Earthquakes spent the majority of the match hunkered down in an unwavering back line of five defenders, with Rodrigues and Tanner Beason anchoring the defense and keeping Chivas from rallying in a chippy game that had five yellow cards between the teams. And once the game kicked off in front of an overwhelmingly pro-Chivas crowd, the Quakes did, in fact, look rejuvenated.
Despite enjoying nearly 60 percent possession in the first half, Chivas’ attack looked punchless aside from a few audacious runs by Cowell and midfielder Erick Gutierrez. The visiting team had only six shots, with two of them actually on target.
