SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The only history being made at Levi’s Stadium on Saturday night was San Jose Earthquakes attacker Yannick Djaló delivering the first score in the new arena’s debut event.
Seattle Sounders coach Sigi Schmid will have to wait another week to try for his own milestone after Djaló’s 42nd minute strike delivered a 1-0 victory for the Quakes in front of 48,765 fans.
San Jose (6-8-5) extended their unbeaten streak to a season-best three games with their second win on the run, moving them into a tie for eighth place in the Western Conference with Chivas USA, pending the Rojiblancos’ game against FC Dallas on Sunday.
Seattle (12-6-2) suffered their first losing streak of the season with a second straight defeat. Schmid, MLS’ leader in coaching victories, can try for his 200th again next weekend against Houston.
