MLS Disciplinary Committee Decisions
NEW YORK (Friday, August 5, 2022) –
The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended San Jose Earthquakes defender Marcos Lopez for one additional match (two matches total) and fined Lopez an undisclosed amount for exhibiting aggressive behavior toward match officials after San Jose’s match against Real Salt Lake on July 30 .

The play was reviewed under Disciplinary Committee Parameter 3, in which officials see an incident, and do not issue a red card or act on a case of clear and obvious simulation/embellishment that meets the conditions for suspension outlined in Section VI.B.4.d. The Disciplinary Committee may review the play for further disciplinary action, over and above the mandatory suspension and fine. Under Parameter 3, supplemental discipline (suspension and/or fine) will be administered if the Disciplinary Committee believes the offense is egregious in nature, and/or it must act to protect player safety, and/or it must protect the integrity of the game, and/or the player is guilty of repeat behavior.

Editor's Note: see the video on our website, soccerlimagazine.com

Lopez served his red card suspension during San Jose’s match against Inter Miami C.F on August 3. The defender will serve the additional match suspension during the San Jose’s match against Austin FC on August 6.

San Jose Earthquakes vs. Chicago Fire FC - 9 pm ET
Most running away from their pasts

The Quakes are still trying to shake the chaos label and just haven't quite been able to do it. The Fire are trying to explain to everyone they really aren't all that boring like they were at the beginning of the year and everyone just keeps kind of ignoring them. In a sense, we've got two teams trying to pull in opposite directions. The Quakes are looking to find ways to sure things up defensively while Chicago are continuing to try and inject more life into their attack. Something has to win out here.

Mukhtar Magic In Store as Nashville Hosts
Potential Goalfest Against Quakes


The stage is set for a goal-filled affair, as an in-form Hany Mukhtar continues to build his Landon Donovan MLS MVP case when Nashville SC host the free-scoring San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday at GEODIS Park (6 p.m. ET, UniMas / TUDN).

Nashville’s brand-new home stadium has continued a long-standing tradition, as the Music City club keeps hitting all the high notes with the longest current home unbeaten streak in all of MLS, which currently resides at 21 regular season games. With a result this weekend, Nashville, which snapped Colorado’s club-record 23 game home unbeaten streak on May 28, could tie for sixth longest home unbeaten streak in league history – currently held by the Columbus Crew (6/28/2008 to 9/26/2009) and the Portland Timbers (4/6/2013 to 5/17/2014).

Leading the attack, Mukhtar is in peak form, producing goals at an even higher rate than his MVP-runner-up campaign last year. His renewed push includes a scoring rate of 0.71 goals per game in 2022, as compared to the 0.5 from 2021. Since the beginning of the 2021 season, Mukhtar leads all MLS players with 37 combined goal contributions (20 goals, 17 assists) and is the only player in the league with at least 15 goals and 15 assists over that span.

On the opposing side, the San Jose Earthquakes have a pair of game-changers of their own, with Jeremy Ebobisse and Cristian Espinoza tied as leaders in the MLS Golden Boot presented by Audi race and the MLS assist rankings, respectively. Their offensive production has helped the Earthquakes collect eight points in the month of May, accounting for their highest single-month points total since a nine-point haul in 2021.

With Ebobisse and Espinoza on the verge of career-best seasons, will this Quakes duo be enough to disrupt the masterful scoring of Nashville’s Hany Mukhtar?

San Jose Earthquakes Midfielder Jamiro Monteiro
Voted MLS Player of the Week presented by
Continental Tire for Week 12

NEW YORK (Thursday, May 19, 2022) – San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Jamiro Monteiro was voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Week presented by Continental Tire for the 12th week of the 2022 MLS season.

Monteiro orchestrated a comeback victory for the Earthquakes by scoring two goals, including the game-winner in San Jose’s 3-2 win over the Portland Timbers. It marked the first-career brace for Monteiro in an MLS game, achieving the feat in just his 11th game with the Quakes since joining prior to the season. He has now recorded at least six goal contributions in each of his four MLS seasons, dating back to 2019.

With the game tied 1-1 in the 44th minute, Monteiro received a pass after a nearly 40-yard run from Cade Cowell and struck a one-timed, curling effort around the goalkeeper to give the Earthquakes the lead (Watch Here ). The Timbers tied the game in the 56th minute, but Monteiro proved to be the difference maker again just 10 minutes from the full-time whistle. Jeremy Ebobisse’s blocked shot deflected to the middle of the six-yard box where Monteiro quickly reacted and lunged to poke the ball home for the game-winning goal in the 80th minute (Watch Here ).

With his performance, Monteiro helped the Earthquakes score at least three goals for the fifth time this season, becoming the only team in MLS to reach that mark in 2022. The Cape Verde international scored the third game-winning goal of his career and his first since June 23, 2021, versus the Columbus Crew when he was a member of the Philadelphia Union.

Monteiro is the second Earthquakes player to win MLS Player of the Week presented by Continental Tire this year, joining Cristian Espinoza in Week 8. This is the first time Monteiro has won a Player of the Week award and San Jose is the only team to have multiple players earn that distinction in 2022.

San Jose will look for their fourth consecutive home win when they host Sporting Kansas City at PayPal Park on Sunday, May 22 (7:30 p.m. ET, MLS LIVE on ESPN+).

The MLS Player of the Week presented by Continental Tire is selected each week of the regular season through both media and fan voting in a process conducted by MLS Communications. A panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) comprises 75 percent of the vote, while a Twitter fan vote represents the remaining 25 percent of voting. NASR consists of members of print, television, radio and online media.

For these clubs, building momentum will be huge, with this week’s stiff competition only increasing the season finale stakes for MLS Decision Day on Nov. 7.

Playoff Line Pursuits
No. 4 Timbers and No. 10 Earthquakes in crunch match: The No. 4 Timbers and the No. 10 Earthquakes face off in a massive match Wednesday (10 p.m. ET, ESPN+) which could determine both clubs’ playoff fates looking ahead.

San Jose Earthquakes Midfielder Eduardo López
Voted MLS Player of the Month for September

NEW YORK (Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2021) – San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Eduardo López has been voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Month by members of the media for September of the 2021 MLS season.

López scored six goals and added an assist in September, scoring goals in three consecutive games Sept. 15-25, including his first career hat trick in MLS. López concluded the month with 11 goals in his first MLS season, currently ranked in a tie for 11th place in the race for the MLS Golden Boot presented by Audi.

Lopez started his hot streak on Sept. 15, scoring all three Earthquakes goals in a 4-3 loss to Real Salt Lake at PayPal Park. It was the eighth hat trick scored by a Mexican-born player in league history, which also included the ninth gol olimpico (scored directly from a corner kick) in MLS annals (SEE GOALS HERE).

In the next match, López then scored a pair of goals, the penalty kick equalizer and the game-winner (WATCH HERE), to lead the Quakes’ comeback from a two-goal deficit for a 4-3 win against Austin FC at Q2 Stadium on Sept. 18.

The man known as “Chofis” netted his sixth goal of the month, and 11th of the season, to cap a 2-0 San Jose win vs. Los Angeles Football Club on Sept. 25 at PayPal Park (WATCH HERE), also added his third assist on the season on the third-minute opener from Benji Kikanovic.

López has been named the MLS Player of the Month for the first time, in his first year in the league after arriving from Chivas de Guadalajara in Mexico in the offseason. López was named the MLS Player of the Week for Week 26.

The Earthquakes next return to league action following the international break, when they face Los Angeles Football Club at Banc of California Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 16 (3:30 p.m. ET; Univision / TUDN).

MLS Player of the Month is voted upon by a panel of select national media members in a process conducted by MLS Communications.

San Jose Earthquakes Midfielder Eduardo López
Voted MLS Player of the Week for Week 26

NEW YORK (Monday, Sept. 20, 2021) – San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Eduardo López has been voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Week for Week 26 of the 2021 MLS season.

López scored a pair of goals, the equalizer and the game-winner, to lead the Quakes’ comeback from a two-goal deficit for a 4-3 win against Austin FC at Q2 Stadium on Saturday evening.

López now has 10 goals for the 2021 season, his first in Major League Soccer, tied for ninth place in the standings for the MLS Golden Boot presented by Audi. López has five goals in the last two games, after netting a hat trick in a 4-3 loss to Real Salt Lake at PayPal Park in Week 25, the eighth scored by a Mexican-born player in league history which also included the ninth gol olimpico (scored directly from a corner kick) in MLS annals.

On Saturday, with the Quakes still down by a goal, López netted the game-tying goal in the 58th minute when he converted a penalty kick.

López then scored the eventual game-winner just five minutes later. Latching onto a blocked pass in the ATXFC end, López let fly from outside the area with a powerful left-footed drive which was parried by Austin FC goalkeeper Brad Stuver. López was then quickest to the rebound, collecting the ball just inside the penalty area before hitting a low shot that nestled into the back of the net past the goalkeeper’s dive ( WATCH HERE).

López becomes the second player this year to win MLS Player of the Week honors in back-to-back weeks, after fellow Mexican Javier Hernández did it in the opening two weeks of the season for the LA Galaxy.

López and the Earthquakes return to action on Saturday evening, when they take on Los Angeles Football Club at PayPal Park (10 p.m. ET, ESPN+).

The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season through both media and fan voting in a process conducted by MLS Communications.
