Crazy finish: San Jose survives late Chivas equalizer, PKs in chaotic Leagues Cup victory

SANTA CLARA – San Jose just needed to hold on for one more minute. 

But Chivas, the overwhelming favorite against the Earthquakes on Saturday night, showed why they are one of Mexico’s greatest teams when Roberto Alvarado streaked into space and popped the ball into the top corner to equalize in the 98th minute, seven minutes into stoppage time at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. 

After over an hour and a half, the team clad in red and white pinstriped kits finally gave their supporters something to cheer about.
