2025-08-10 | Game Summary

The MLS match on 2025-08-09 at PayPal Park saw the San Jose Earthquakes defeat the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1. San Jose, playing a 3-4-3 formation, dominated possession with 61.3% and registered 16 total shots compared to Vancouver's 7. Vancouver, in a 4-3-3, suffered an early setback with a red card to Edier Ocampo in the 27th minute. Josef Martinez converted a penalty in the 54th minute to give San Jose the lead. Brian White equalized for Vancouver in the 88th minute, but Preston Judd scored a late winner for the Earthquakes in stoppage time (90+4'). The AI pre-game prediction of a San Jose Earthquakes win proved accurate. The AI model did not expect a balanced game.
San Jose's victory breaks a poor run of form that saw them lose three of their last five games. Vancouver's form has been mixed, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their previous five outings. The Earthquakes' higher shot volume ultimately made the difference, despite Vancouver's efforts to stay in the game after going down to 10 men. San Jose had 5 yellow cards compared to Vancouver's 1. The goalkeepers saved 4 and 2 shots respectively.
Looking ahead, San Jose Earthquakes face Houston Dynamo FC away on 2025-08-23. Houston has struggled recently, losing their last three games and displaying a porous defense. Vancouver Whitecaps host Houston Dynamo FC on 2025-08-17. Vancouver's recent 3-0 win against Houston may give them a psychological edge. San Jose's next opponent, Houston, has a poor recent record against the Earthquakes, while Vancouver's next game will be at home, against an opponent who they've just defeated convincingly. The Earthquakes had lost 4 of the 5 previous games, so the team was not in good shape. Vancouver had won 2 of the 5 previous games.
