KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) --- Jack Skahan scored two goals --- his first
multi-goal game in MLS --- to help the San Jose Earthquakes beat Sporting
Kansas City 3-1 on Saturday night.
San Jose (6-1-0) is off to the best start in club history. Niko Tsakiris had
two assists for the Earthquakes.
Kansas City (1-5-1) has lost three in a row.
Skahan put away a first-touch shot, off a cross played by Tsakiris, from the
top of the 6-yard box in the 45th minute and scored from near the penalty spot
in the 49th to give San Jose a 2-1 lead.
Jacob Bartlett scored his first career goal in MLS to give Sporting KC a 1-0
lead in the 27th minute. Dejan Joveljic tapped a pass ahead to a charging
Bartlett, who slipped behind the defense and ripped a first-touch shot from the
center of the area that deflected of goalkeeper Daniel De Sousa Britto ---
known simply as "Daniel" --- into the net. It was just the second goal conceded
by San Jose this season.
Dave Romney capped the scoring in the 75th.
Daniel finished with three saves.
