SAN JOSE, Calif., May 23 (UPI) -- Brian Ching scored two goals as the San Jose Earthquakes built a big lead and held on for a 4-2 Saturday night victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Both goals were assisted by Richard Mulrooney. Six minutes later, Brain Mullan scored his first goal to make it 3-0 before the Galaxy (4-2-3) began their comeback.

Andreas Herzog struck in the 61st minute and Joseph Ngwenya made it 3-2 in the 74th minute.

But the Earthquakes (3-2-3) sealed it in the 79th minute on a goal by Dwayne De Rosario, who also had a pair of assists.
