STANFORD — Beau Leroux didn’t wait long to add his name to the long list of legendary California Clasico moments.
The Santa Teresa High School alum and former San Jose State player found the ball at his feet just outside a 18-yard box and took a page out of former LA Galaxy player David Beckham’s book. Leroux bended a perfect curling strike around Galaxy goalie Novak Micovic, putting the Earthquakes up 1-0 at Stanford Stadium.
But San Jose couldn’t quite finish the job. Quakes keeper Daniel dove to make a key saves in the 60th and 68th minutes but couldn’t finish a similar play in the 70th, as Marco Reus buried a rebound to bring the Galaxy level at 1-1.
The Earthquakes couldn’t add another, and Los Angeles salvaged the tie.
The Earthquakes (7-7-6), who entered Saturday in fifth in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference, thus left two points on the table in front of 42,881 fans at Stanford.
