SAN JOSE — The San Jose Earthquakes kept their undefeated streak alive at four games with some help from the New York Red Bulls, who allowed an own goal during a 1-1 draw at PayPal Park on Saturday night.
An own goal in the 58th minute on New York’s Mohammed Sofo, who redirected a cross played by San Jose’s Cristian Espinoza into the net, accounted for San Jose’s lone goal made it 1-1.
San Jose also overcame a DeJuan Jones red card while having to play a man down for the match’s final 26 minutes to secure the tie. Jones’ second yellow card was assessed for his dangerous tackle on the Red Bulls’ Peter Stroud.
The Earthquakes, 4-1-6 in their last 11 matches and 7-7-7 overall, are riding a four-match (1-0-3) unbeaten streak.
Emil Forsberg scored a goal in his second consecutive game for New York. Forsberg ran onto a ball played by Stroud, zig-zagged to evade a pair of defenders near the penalty spot and then slipped a rising shot inside the left post to open the scoring in the 19th minute.
New York (8-7-6) is winless in four straight.
Carlos Miguel Coronel had three saves for the Red Bulls.
