New York was in control early and never looked back, as the Red Bulls continued to roll on their quest for the Supporters Shield.
The San Jose Earthquakes announced on Monday that former Chivas Guadalajara boss Matias Almeyda would take over as the team’s new manager at the start of next season.
Almeyda, 44, will not begin managing the team until the start of the 2019 season with current interim manager Steve Ralston set to oversee the final two games of San Jose’s 2018 campaign. The Quakes are already eliminated from the MLS postseason.

In order to stay alive in the playoff hunt, there will be little to no room for mistakes from the aforementioned squads who still have much to prove. With only goal differential narrowly separating them, let’s…
Chivas tied 1-1 against Club America in Estadio Azteca on Sunday and celebrated the point as if it was a victory.
“When you are hungry, a tortilla with salt on it tastes glorious,” was the barb one Mexican commentator aimed at Chivas for cheering the draw in Liga MX’s Clasico Nacional.
Club America was left with a bitter taste when Guadalajara’s goalkeeper Raul Gudino saved a last-gasp penalty from Colombian Mateus Uribe, just as it looked as if Las Aguilas’ late pressure was going to pay off.
