New team, new goal-scoring milestone for Josef MartÃnez.
The legendary Venezuelan striker opened his San Jose Earthquakes account Saturday night, tallying MLS regular-season goal No. 117 to tie New York Red Bulls icon and current MLS Season Pass analyst Bradley Wright-Phillips for sixth place on the league's all-time scoring list.
MartÃnez, who joined the Quakes via free agency after spending 2024 with CF Montréal, pushed home a loose ball after a corner kick to score the eventual game-winner in a 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City at Children's Mercy Park.
Fellow offseason newcomer Chicho Arango opened the scoring for San Jose, who put the league on notice in Matchday 1 with a 4-0 blowout win over Real Salt Lake.
Now, the Quakes have both marquee striker signings getting in on the goal-scoring act to continue their promising start to the Bruce Arena era.
