Roberts capped a chaotic Walmart Saturday Showdown with a stunning strike.
The Earthquakes defender unleashed a long‑range, last‑minute equaliser to force a 2‑2 stalemate against a ten‑man LAFC at Levi’s Stadium.
His 98th‑minute leveler snagged the Energy Moment of the Matchday award, presented by Celsius. It’s a fitting reward.
After falling two goals behind when LAFC’s Son Heung‑Min and Denis Bouanga scored before the break, San Jose rallied for an epic finish.
Preston Judd narrowed the gap in the 70th minute, shifting momentum before Roberts sealed the point with a golazo.
The dramatic tie stretched San Jose’s unbeaten run to five games (2‑0‑3), leaving them just shy of the Western Conference’s top four as the Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs race heats up. The concern here is their defense still yields two first‑half goals.
Roberts and the Quakes head back to PayPal Park Saturday to host Portland Timbers at 10:30 pm ET on Apple TV. Can they clinch a playoff spot with a win?
