He got the monkey off his back to become the MLS all-time leading scorer and now Chris Wondolowski is hoping to guide the San Jose Earthquakes to their third win in their last four games when they head to BMO Field to face a Toronto FC side that is winless in their last four.


Toronto FC (5-5-2) sit just above the playoff line in the Eastern Conference, but have gone back-to-back games without scoring after falling to Real Salt Lake, 3-0, at Rio Tinto Stadium. Damir Kreilach and Sebastian Saucedo scored first-half goals for the hosts and Jefferson Savarino closed out the scoring in a comfortable win. Adding injury to insult, Alejandro Pozuelo was sent off for his second bookable offense just past the hour mark and he sits this game out on suspension. 


It was the Wondo party at Avaya Stadium last week with Wondo scoring every San Jose goal in a 4-1 win over the Chicago Fire. Quietly, the Quakes (4-6-2) have points in five of their last six games and are two points below the Western Conference playoff line.
