Earthquake beat Red Bulls to reach Eastern final

Chris Wondolowski scored in the 81st minute, giving the San Jose Earthquake a 3-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls and Thierry Henry on Thursday night and a 3-2 aggregate win in the MLS Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Bobby Convey scored twice, connecting in the sixth and 77th minutes, to help San Jose rebound from a 1-0 first-leg loss in California on Saturday night. Juan Pablo Angel, in likely his last game for the Red Bulls, scored in the 78th minute.

New York, with Henry, Rafael Marquez and Angel, became perhaps the most expensive failure in MLS history.

The Earthquake will face the Columbus-Colorado winner in the conference final.
