KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Landon Donovan scored both goals Saturday as the San Jose Earthquakes beat the Kansas City Wizards, 2-0.
San Jose created most of the chances early, switching the ball right and left and using both wings while trying to find a kink in the Wizards' defense.
After Wizards' midfielder Igor Simutenkov hit a shot off the left post in the 26th minute, the Quakes responded immediately through right winger Brian Mullan cutting inside to his left. He was given time to look up and subsequently delivered a cross to a racing Donovan, who split back Nick Garcia and 'keeper Tony Meola and headed the ball into the net to make it 1-0 San Jose.
Donovan, who received a quick pass from Brian Ching off an interception just inside the Wizards' half, put the ball past a sliding Meola for his second of the match and sixth of the season in the 59th minute.
