It also marked the first match with interim head coach Ian Russell on the sidelines. San Jose’s best chance came in the 44th minute after Shea Salinas cut a cross on the grass to Chris Wondolowski. The lethal striker blasted a shot near-post on the run, but Whitecaps FC goalkeeper David Ousted was able to knock the ball away and end the threat. The Earthquakes played at Buck Shaw Stadium for seven years after re-joining Major League Soccer in 2008. Following Saturday’s result, the club finished 50-27-36 all-time at the venue.
