SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Rookie Adam Jahn scored his first professional goal and then set up Chris Wondolowski's game-winning penalty in second-half injury time that gave the San Jose Earthquakes a 2-1 come-from-behind win over the New York Red Bulls on Sunday night.
Wondolowski scored in the 92nd minute with his second try at the penalty kick, which initially came about when Jahn headed a corner kick into the left arm of New York defender Roy Miller. New York goalkeeper Luis Robles saved the first attempt by Wondolowski, who tied the MLS all-time single-season scoring record last year with 27 goals, but referee Ricardo Salazar awarded San Jose another chance after Miller entered the penalty area too soon.
Given another opportunity, Wondolowski tucked a well-placed shot inside the right post.
Jahn, who came on as a substitute in the 66th minute because forwards Alan Gordon and Steven Lenhart were injured, came up with the equalizer in his second MLS appearance. The Stanford product volleyed home a whipped cross from San Cronin in the 83rd minute, leaving Robles no chance to make a save.
