LA Galaxy vs. San Jose Earthquakes

2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup

Round of 16

Location: Avaya Stadium

Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. (PT)

Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2015

The game comes just three days after the two sides held their first MLS meeting of 2015 as the Earthquakes defeated the Galaxy 3-1 at Avaya Stadium on Sunday.

The Galaxy and Earthquakes have met four previous times in the U.S. Open Cup (2000-2002, 2005), all at the Quarterfinal stage with the Galaxy advancing each time and holding a 3-0-1 edge.

The LA Galaxy are 20-2-1 all-time in U.S. Open Cup matches in the state of California, with their last defeat coming in a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Fire in the 2000 Semifinal at Titan Stadium in Fullerton, Calif.

The Galaxy have recorded a 24-12-1 all-time record in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. They have entered the Open Cup every year since 1999, winning the tournament in 2001 and 2005 while reaching the Open Cup Final on two other occasions.

The Galaxy will be without goalkeeper Jaime Penedo, forward Gyasi Zardes and defender Omar Gonzalez, who are away on international duty for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
