SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- San Jose goalkeeper Pat Onstad stopped Josh Wolff's penalty kick in the second half and the Earthquakes held on to beat the Kansas City Wizards 3-2 Saturday night.
The Earthquakes (1-1-2) allowed late tying goals by New England and Chivas USA in their first two games at Spartan Stadium. But Onstad preserved their first win by deflecting Wolff's kick off the crossbar.
Dwayne DeRosario gave San Jose a 3-2 lead in the 57th minute, bouncing his first goal of the season off the far post and into the net. Three minutes later, the Wizards (1-1-1) were awarded a penalty kick after Jimmy Conrad was fouled in the box during a free kick, but Wolff failed to convert.
Rookie Scott Sealy scored his first career goal during a goalmouth scramble in the fifth minute, giving the Wizards the lead.
San Jose forward Ronald Cerritos scored past goalkeeper Bo Oshoniyi from 15 yards in the 14th minute to tie the match at 1. Craig Waibel picked up the assist.
Chris Klein took a pass from Kerry Zavagnin and scored from 20 yards out, giving Kansas City a 2-1 lead in the 34th minute.
In the 40th minute, San Jose's Brian Ching headed in Brad Davis' free kick to make it 2-2.
