Quakes blow extra-time lead, lose to Sacramento in U.S. Open Cup

The San Jose Earthquakes are out of the U.S. Open Cup after allowing goals in consecutive minutes of extra time Tuesday night to lose 4-3 to Sacramento Republic FC.

The Quakes equalized at 2-2 in the 80th minute on an unassisted goal by Cristian Espinoza to force the game beyond 90 minutes, then went ahead when recent Argentinian arrival Hernán López scored on a give-and-go with Preston Judd.

But just after extra time’s halftime break, former San Jose midfielder Luis Felipe beat goalkeeper Jacob Jackson, making his club debut.
