Rothrock scores a goal, Thomas has 7 saves as Sounders beat Earthquakes 1-0
Andrew Thomas recorded his second straight shutout with seven saves as Paul Rothrock’s 20th-minute goal secured a 1-0 win for the Seattle Sounders.
- At PayPal Park on Sunday, March 15, 2026, Paul Rothrock's 20th-minute strike gave Seattle Sounders FC a 1-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes.
- San Jose began the season with three consecutive wins for the first time, but the loss left the Earthquakes 3-1-0.
- On the counter, Jesus Ferreira played a through ball near the right corner of the penalty area, and goalkeeper Daniel crept off his line before Rothrock slipped a shot inside the near post. Andrew Thomas made two saves in the 83rd and a diving stop in stoppage time to preserve his second consecutive shutout.
- Late-Game interventions included a defensive clearance and an offside call as Antino Lopez kicked away a would-be equalizer in the 74th minute and Cody Baker's apparent goal in the 86th minute was ruled out after Albert Rusnák was flagged offside.
- The Quakes will next face Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday at 7:30 p.m., after losing to Seattle on July 15, 2026, ending their seven-game winless streak against San Jose.
