SEATTLE- The San Jose Earthquakes fell 1-0 to the Seattle Sounders on Saturday at Centurylink Field. Obafemi Martins scored the lone goal of the game for Seattle and sent the Sounders to victory. The loss was the Earthquakes fourth on the season.

San Jose dressed only 16 players, two short of the maximum that they could have dressed. The Earthquakes were short two men because of injuries. Although San Jose was short two men, they still played a competitive game losing just 1-0 against the (8-3-1) Sounders.

The Earthquakes played without their normal starters; Chris Wondolowski, Clarence Goodson, Victor Bernardez, Alan Gordon, Steven Lenhart, Yannick Djalo and Andy Gorlitz.

The Earthquakes will be back on the field on Sunday, May 25 as they will host the Houston Dynamo at Buck Shaw Stadium. Kickoff will be at 7:30 pm.
