Ching spurs Earthquakes

Advertiser Staff

Kamehameha graduate Brian Ching helped the San Jose Earthquakes beat the host Portland Timbers, 3-0, last night in the round of 16 of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup soccer tournament.

Ching took a return pass from Landon Donovan early in the game and found himself one-and-one with the goalkeeper. Defender Gavin Wilkinson took Ching down from behind to earn a red card, and Ronnie Ekelund converted to make it 1-0 in the 18th minute.

Ching also assisted on Ramiro Corrales goal in the 55th minute, pushing a pass out wide to Corrales, who beat his defender before firing into the goal.

Dwayne De Rosario headed in the final goal.
