Reserves: San Jose 3, FC Dallas 1

SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Earthquakes reserves exploded for three second-half goals to earn a 3-1 victory over the FC Dallas reserves at Valley Christian High School in San Jose. Chris Wondolowski, Wes Hart and Julian Nash scored goals for San Jose, while Abe Thompson netted Dallas' lone goal.

Dallas had a good opportunity in the 21st minute off a free kick by Chris Gbandi. Gbandi curled a left-footed cross into the box that was deflected in front of Jon Conway's net. Before a Dallas attacker could pick up the loose ball, Chris Aloisi cleared the ball out. Gbandi recovered the clearance, however, and blasted a shot that missed the near post.

Hart nearly broke the deadlock with a left-footed shot with 20 minutes left in the first half. After receiving a cross inside the box, Hart turned his defender and hit a shot to the near post that Dallas goalkeeper Jeff Cassar saved but had trouble handling. The ball almost trickled across the goal line, before Cassar could corral the loose ball.

FC Dallas again threatened with a set piece in the 30th minute. Arturo Alvarez whipped a cross to the back post for Steve Jolley, who headed the ball on goal, but Conway stepped in to make the save.

Orlando Ramirez set up Julian Nash for a chance in the closing minutes of the first half. Ramirez knocked a ball over the defense to Nash, who chipped the ball over Cassar and then headed the ball toward the empty net, but Jolley was there to clear the ball away.

The Quakes earned a penalty kick with five minutes left in the half after a tackle by Gbandi on Hart in the box. James Twellman sent a cross to Hart in the box and Gbandi brought him down for a penalty. Nash took the penalty and hit it to the lower corner, but Cassar made a diving save. The rebound fell to Nash, but his follow-up shot hit the crossbar. Wondolowski then hit a third shot, but Cassar made the save again.

Dallas jumped out to a 1-0 lead just three minutes into the second half. Ty Maurin picked up the ball on the left wing and he sent a cross to the near post, where Abe Thompson got a leg on the ball and tipped it past Conway.

San Jose responded two minutes later with a goal by Wondolowski on a penalty kick. Nash got into the box behind the defense and was hauled down by Alex Yi. Wondolowski then cracked a hard shot into the upper part of the goal to tie the score.

Hart gave San Jose the lead with a blast from the edge of the penalty box 10 minutes into the second half. Noah Merl played a ball from the left wing to Hart in the middle and Hart ripped a shot past Cassar for a 2-1 Quakes advantage.

Thompson tried to push across his second goal of the day five minutes after Hart's strike, but his close-range attempt was stuffed by Conway. Roberto Mina got the ball on the right wing and sent a low shot to the far post that was blocked by Chris Aloisi. Thompson battled for the ball and almost pushed it into the net, but Conway came out to make the save.

The Quakes moved out to a 3-1 lead after a strong build-up on the left wing. Merl played a ball to Russell, who tapped it back to Merl. Merl then played a one-time ball through the defense to Nash, who dribbled in on Cassar and slotted it to his right for his first goal.
