In a significant turnaround, the San Jose Earthquakes defeated the Portland Timbers 3-1 on Saturday night, snapping a four-game winless streak. Preston Judd was the standout performer, scoring two goals within the first 12 minutes of the match. His first goal came from a rolling shot at the edge of the box, followed by a rising shot from the center of the area to double the lead. Daniel Munie also contributed with a goal, while he and goalkeeper Daniel Munie combined for six saves, showcasing a strong defensive performance. This victory was particularly noteworthy as it marked San Jose's first win at Providence Park since the Timbers joined Major League Soccer (MLS) in 2011, ending a streak of 20 games without a win there (1-14-5). The Earthquakes now hold a record of 9 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws, totaling 32 points, just one point behind the league-leading Nashville. The Timbers managed to score through Antony Alves Santos in the 18th minute, but ultimately fell short. San Jose's Timo Werner and midfielder Niko Tsakiris were absent due to injuries, but the team managed to secure a crucial win.
