SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Diego Luna scored in the 78th minute Saturday night to help Real Salt Lake beat the San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 to extend its unbeaten streak to five consecutive games.
Luna took a pass from Braian Ojeda about 10 yards outside the penalty area and, without much pressure from the Earthquakes defense, ripped a left-footed shot that bounced off the back post into the net to give Real Salt Lake (15-7-11) a 1-0 lead.
RSL had 55% possession and outshot the Earthquakes 14-6, 6-1 on target.
Daniel De Sousa Britto, known simply as “Daniel,” had five saves for San Jose (6-24-3).
Real Salt Lake has 56 points, tied with the Seattle Sounders for third in the Western Conference, two behind second-place Los Angeles FC.
The Earthquakes lost for the third time in four games and has just one win in their last seven.
