p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Atletico Madrid @ San Jose Earthquakes


Sunday was the last sporting event at the famous Candlestick Park in San Francisco (South San Francisco technically!). Despite the hot and dry weather in the Bay Area (*) to 90F), Candlestick park was like I remembered it 25 years ago when I watched my first ever baseball game there: windy and cold (barely 60F by the end of the game).

The crowd was... sparse shall we say, barely registering the 70,000 seats stadium. From a photographer perspective it makes it difficult in the end to select good photos without empty seats as background!

The game started 1 hour late (no explanation given), and once under way, the action was tepid at best. The Atletico didn't put their A squad on the pitch, and the Earthquakes squeezed that game in between two MLS season games and didn't want to take chances hurting their key players.

The game was 0-0 at the end of regulation time and was decided in favor of Atletico Madrid on penalty kicks.

More photos here.

C&C welcomed as always.

The game started one hour late because the Atletico Madrid bus got a flat tire on the way to the stadium. No kidding.

Great shots. The grass looks 1000x better than it was at the Real Madrid vs. Inter Milan game at Berkeley/Cal Memorial on Saturday.

Denis,

This is a very nice looking set with some razor sharp images. I really like the color, saturation and contrast in this set. Looks like you had some harsh light to deal with as well. Fav's are 1, 2, 4 & 5 for me. Thanks for sharing!
