SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Chris Wondolowski scored for the third time in as many league matches and the San Jose Earthquakes extended their home winning streak to five consecutive games with a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Sunday night. Wondolowski and the Earthquakes broke through in the 55th minute against one of the MLS stingiest defences. Steven Beitashour delivered a cross off a deflected ball on the right wing and Wondolowski knifed behind Sportings back line to reach the looping pass and head it inside the near post from 12 yards out for his eighth goal. San Jose (9-10-6) kept alive its faint playoff hopes with the victory, moving into a tie for seventh place in the Western Conference with FC Dallas on 33 points. Sporting Kansas City (11-8-6) retained its share of the Eastern Conference top spot, but lost its game in hand on co-leader New York. The five-game home winning streak is San Joses longest since August 2005. Wondolowski has scored in five straight matches against Sporting Kansas City. San Jose had the best chance of the first half when Clarence Goodson rose to meet Marvin Chavezs 33rd-minute free kick deep inside Kansas Citys box. But Kansas City goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen prevented the U.S. internationals first goal for San Jose with a diving, right-handed stop. The visitors appeals for a penalty kick were denied in the 65th minute after Matt Beslers free kick from the right wing was flicked forward by Aurelin Collin and Kansas Citys Soony Saad collided with Beitashour at the back post. Kelly Oubre Jr. Jersey . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Even as a senior, Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde learned a few things from talented freshman Ezekiel Elliott before entering the 2014 draft.Elliott taught Hyde the value of being an asset without the ball in his hands.Running backs as talented as Hyde, who ran for 3,198 yards in college, get notoriety for making tacklers miss. Hyde appreciates Elliott for showing him how to make defenders miss his teammates by throwing blocks downfield.He came in and set the tone with that, said Hyde, without the ball, running down the field, throwing a cut block. ... He changed our (running backs) room at Ohio State with that.Elliott went on to get drafted fourth overall by the Dallas Cowboys last spring, in part because of his complete skill set. Not only did he eclipse Hydes Ohio State rushing total by 763 yards in three seasons (Hyde played four), Elliott was widely considered the best blocking back in the 2016 draft.Hes not a guy that you have to take off the field, 49ers coach Chip Kelly said of Elliott. Hes got speed. Hes got power. You know, hes kind of the best combination. ... and I think everybody agreed, that he was the top back in the draft last year.Elliott entered the NFL two years after Hyde was taken in the second round by the 49ers. They square off Sunday at Levis Stadium when Dallas (2-1) visits San Francisco (1-2).For the season, Elliott has 274 yards rushing on 71 carries with one touchdown. His former teammate has four touchdowns with 225 yards on 58 carries for San Francisco.Hyde said he hasnt paid attention to the fact hes playing against his college pupil. After all, hes going against Dallas 10th--ranked rushing defense, while Elliott will be looking to make his mark against a 49ers defense that allowed 947 yards combined in its consecutive losses to Carolina and Seattle.ddddddddddddBut Hydes All-Pro teammate NaVorro Bowman thinks the game Sunday has personal meaning for the running back.I think Carlos had (Elliott) underneath his wing for sure at Ohio State, Bowman said. So he cant let the young guy get the best of the game. I think Carlos will be holding this one special in his heart.Ohio State won a national championship during Hydes rookie season with San Francisco. Hyde made sure to be on the sideline during the championship game against Oregon that January after the 49ers finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the first time in three seasons.The Buckeyes rolled 42-20, with Elliott setting a season high with 246 yards rushing and four touchdowns. It was the third straight game Elliott had at least 200 yards.When I was there, (Elliott) was in the room with us and my position coach, coach (Stan Drayton), made us feel like a family in that room. . . . It was just exciting to see that, Hyde said.Game notes 49ers TE Vance McDonald (hip) returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesdays session. ... CB Jimmie Ward missed practice (quadriceps) for the second straight day. ... Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (knee), QB Tony Romo (back), LT Tyron Smith (back) and G Lael Collins (toe) have not practiced this week.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
