SANDY, Utah (AP) — Chris Wondolowski scored twice in a four-minute span as the San Jose Earthquakes beat Real Salt Lake 2-1 on Friday night for their third straight victory.

RSL's Rubio Rubín opened the scoring in the 43rd.

Wondolowski tied it in the 83rd minute by tapping in a rebound after David Ochoa got a hand on Carlos Fierro’s shot. Fierro’s cross in the 87th found the head of Wondolowski to win it.

Wondolowski has 12 career goals against RSL — his most against any MLS opponent.
