SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes fell to St. Louis CITY SC 2-1 on Saturday night in front of 15,112 fans.

The visitors struck first in the fourth minute when Jannes Horn streaked down the left wing and fed Cedric Teuchert for the quick finish. In the 11th minute, St. Louis was awarded a penalty after video review when San Jose defender Rodrigues appeared to collide with Marcel Hartel in the box. Two minutes later, Hartel converted from the spot to double the advantage.

The Quakes were undeterred and created two clear chances on goal from HernĂ¡n LĂ³pez and Jeremy Ebobisse, but St. Louis goalkeeper Roman BĂ¼rki got a hand on both attempts. But Ebobisse would not be denied, and in the 40th minute, he played a one-two with Quakes defender Carlos Akapo and subsequently finished the play with a low left-footed strike to the right corner of the net for his fifth goal of the season. The half ended 2-1 in favor of St. Louis. San Jose valiantly pushed for an equalizer late but could not get one before the final whistle.

The Quakes now travel to Canada on Saturday, Sept. 28, to face CF Montréal. Kickoff from Stade Saputo will take place at 4:30 p.m. PT and will be broadcast globally on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV (English/Spanish/French), as well as on local radio via AM 810 The Spread (English) and AM 1370 La Kaliente (Spanish).
