The Los Angeles Galaxy won 2-1 over the San Jose Earthquakes in Fresno’s pre-friendly Saturday.

San Jose remained winless in preseason despite the 1906 Ultras supporting them in person.

The game was a sellout with 12,659 fans. Chukchansi Park holds 12,500.

The Earthquakes’ reserve team lost 2-1 to the Fresno Fuego of the Premier Development League before the game. The Galaxy II beat the Fuego 2-1 Thursday.

Los Angeles goalie Brian Perk and San Jose’s Billy Schuler had an audible collision going for the ball in front of the net. Both were approached afterwards by their team members and play resumed.

The Galaxy’s Marcelo Savas scored the first half’s goal in the 31st minute. The Earthquakes’ Jon Busch stopped a chance from him in the 15th minute.

Teammate Gyasi Zardes took a scoring pass from Landon Donovan to double their lead in the 54th minute.

Zardes had another chance soon after that went just high. Busch dove to stop Zardes to open the second half.

San Jose’s goal came in the 67th minute, with Josh Morton aided by Sam Garza’s corner.

The Earthquakes came close to tying afterwards in the 75th minute and near the end.

Game notes: After San Jose’s Clarence Goodson and Chris Wondolowski returned to play last game, they were absent in this one. The Earthquakes’ next preseason friendly will be February 23 at 5p as they partake in the Rose City Invitational against the Portland Timbers first.
