SAN JOSE — The Galaxy has a tough hill to climb, but the club has found some momentum. Dejan Joveljic scored on a penalty kick in the 61st minute and the Galaxy held off the San Jose Earthquakes, 3-2, on Wednesday night to continue its attempt to climb into playoff position. Jeremy Ebobisse put San Jose (9-9-8, 35 points) ahead 2-1 with a goal in the 31st minute. The Galaxy scored the equalizer five minutes into the second half when Riqui Puig took a pass from Edwin Cerrillo and scored his fifth goal of the season. Joveljic’s third goal of the season came after Edwards was fouled by San Jose defender Miguel Trauco.
