Jun 25, 2025; Frisco, Texas, USA; San Jose Earthquakes forward Cristian Arango (9) and teammates celebrate after scoring a goal against FC Dallas during the second half at Toyota Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Tim Heitman-Imagn Images After a four-goal eruption that got their offense back on track, the San Jose Earthquakes at least will be close to home when they play host to the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday in another edition of the California Clasico.
The team’s first game in the Bay Area in a month will take place at Stanford Stadium as the teams renew their rivalry with 40,000 tickets already sold for the match.
The Earthquakes (7-7-5, 26 points) enter after a 4-2 road victory over FC Dallas on Wednesday. Cristian Arango, Josef Martinez and Beau Leroux gave San Jose second-half goals to overcome a 1-0 deficit. Mark-Anthony Kaye scored in second-half stoppage time.
With seven wins this season, the Earthquakes passed their total of six from last season when they finished in last place in the Western Conference. They enter Saturday’s game in fifth place.
“We just moved on,” San Jose captain Cristian Espinosa said, when asked to compare last season with this one. “In the beginning of the season, we knew the club was making a huge effort to bring good players to the team, and the guys are responding in the field. I’m really happy for the team because this year is going well, and now we need to keep going in the same way.”
The Galaxy (1-13-5, 8 points) continued their dreadful season with a 2-0 road loss to the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday. They failed to score a goal for the eighth time in MLS play.
“We’ll put in one behind us, get back, and get going on the weekend,” Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney said. “They understand what it’s like to play San Jose and it’s a Clasico. Just played them not too long ago, we have a pretty good sense of what they’re going to look like and how the game will try to be played.”
Before Wednesday, Los Angeles’ most recent game without a goal was in a 1-0 home loss to San Jose on May 28. Ousseni Bouda scored the lone goal of the game.
Christian Ramirez leads the Galaxy with four goals but has not scored in the past nine matches — while coming off the bench in each of the past five contests.
Los Angeles continues to play without star midfielder Riqui Puig, who came away with a knee injury in last season’s playoffs.
Saturday’s game is the 104th edition of the California Clasico rivalry with Los Angeles holding a 50-34-19 advantage.

Felipe Melo projeta Flamengo finalista da Libertadores, mas evita antecipar título no Brasileirão: “Eles vão brigar”
Felipe Melo, em registro no Fechamento SporTV (Reprodução)Felipe Melo vê margem para reviravoltas ao longo do segundo turno do Brasileirão. Apesar da vantagem atrelada ao Flamengo, que depende apenas das próprias forças na disputa pelo título, o ex-jogador fez questão de ressaltar a forte concorrência envolvendo Palmeiras e Cruzeiro, e ainda não descarta totalmente o Botafogo.

Fantasy Football Week 1 Tight End Preview: Projections, numbers to know, and more
USATSI At the other positions, this week is all about how Week 1 projections look different than season-long rankings. At tight end, that may be pretty obvious. Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland were rookies we pushed up in the season-long rankings because of their upside, not because of their Week 1 projection. That's why I generally suggested drafting one of Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, or Jake Ferguson to pair with them. At the same time, low-end tight ends are such low scorers, I wouldn't necessarily say you can't start Loveland or Warren this week. Just know that you don't have much floor in their debuts. The positive for Warren is his offense has an implied total of 24 points, which is an edge over the Bears' 21.5.One of the most disturbing implied totals of the week is the Detroit Lions. […]
Fantasy football rankings 2025: Breakouts, optimal picks from model that called Jayden Daniels’ big season
Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty rushed for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in his final season at Boise State, and after being selected No. 6 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, the clear expectation is for Jeanty to assume a significant role in the Las Vegas offense from Day 1. Jeanty has been the sixth Fantasy football running back off the board on average and has a 2025 Fantasy football ADP of 5.7. Raheem Mostert and Zamir White will provide some competition for touches, but the early indication is that Jeanty could be slated for a true three-down role and he should see heavy volume playing for Pete Carroll.However, with established backs like De'Von Achane and Josh Jacobs also available in the middle of the first round, is Jeanty really the best option at that stage of the draft? Having […]
John Calipari bringing Arkansas to face Memphis will finally let Tiger fans celebrate his great nine-year run
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- John Calipari walked into the grand lobby here at FedExForum on Tuesday for a press conference to announce the Hoops For St. Jude Tip-off Classic -- an exhibition scheduled for next month between the team he now coaches (Arkansas) and the team he used to coach (Memphis) with proceeds benefitting the internationally acclaimed downtown hospital located minutes away.But it was so much more than just a press conference.For anybody who understands the history of Calipari in Memphis, or the relationship between Calipari and Memphis since he left for Kentucky in March 2009, it was a sweet scene -- one that seemed to represent the official beginning of the end of an awkward existence between two things that seemed like a perfect match for nine remarkable years in the early 2000s, before little more than a logical career-choice took […]
