Major League Soccer Playoffs, Leg 2: Convey Brace, Wondo Winner Sees New York Out Of Playoffs

After 165 minutes of relatively eventful play, the tie has been blown wide open with three goals in six minutes. San Jose has scored twice with Bobby Convey once again at the center of their attacks, while Juan Pablo Angel scored for New York.

The first goal came in the 75th minute after a spell of possession for San Jose. The ball eventually got to Bobby Convey after a sloppy flurry of passes. Convey turned Tim Ream, got himself free, and finished past Bouna Coundoul to give San Jose an advantage on aggregate.

Bobby Convey’s 6th minute goal tied the aggregate series 1-1 and it has stayed that way for the remainder of the first half.

The two sides have traded opportunities for much of the half. The best chance came off the foot of 17-year-old Juan Agudelo, but after getting free inside the six-yard box, his shot rung off the near post. Dane Richards’ pass had sent Agudelo in, but it was a little late and forced Agudelo to take an extra touch that cut off his angle.

History may not be on the side of the Earthquakes, but history means very little in this game.

Bobby Convey collected a free ball about eight yards out and easily scored it past Bouna Condoul to tie the series 1-1 in the 7th minute.
