Niko Tsakiris scores 1st MLS goal, Earthquakes beat Austin 2-1 in
regular-season finale
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) --- Niko Tsakiris scored his first career MLS goal in the
77th minute, Josef Martnez also scored a goal and the San Jose Earthquakes
beat Austin FC 2-1 on Saturday night in the regular-season finale for both
teams.
Austin (13-13-8) is sixth in the Western Conference and will play No. 3 seed
Los Angeles FC in the MLS Cup playoffs.
Tsakiris blasted a free kick from about 10 yards right of the penalty arc that
deflected off the outstretched hand of goalkeeper Brad Stuver and slipped
inside the near post to give the Earthquakes a 2-1 lead.
Owen Wolff opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. On the counter-attack, Wolff
scored on a shot from just outside the area that deflected off a defender into
the net to give Austin a 1-0 lead.
San Jose (11-15-8) tied it 1-1 in the 74th on a header, off an entry pass
played in by Jack Skahan, by Martnez.
The Earthquakes finished with 63% and outshot Austin 26-4, 10-2 on target.
Stuver finished with eight saves.
