- On a night when a pair of key refereeing decisions looked to have doomed the San Jose Earthquakes to their eighth game without a win, the Quakes, playing down two men, earned a dramatic 2-1 win over visiting Toronto FC at sold-out Avaya Stadium.
" David Bingham was perfect in goal during the onslaught, and following four minutes of stoppage time, the Earthquakes celebrated a huge 2-1 win.
Former Earthquakes defenders Steven Beitashour and Justin Morrow combined to level the score on the stroke of halftime, with Morrow slotting home from close range from Beitashour's crossing pass.
You're just willing them to win and I think the thing was, they were willing themselves to win, which was even better.
The win won't move the Earthquakes above the red line in the Western Conference, but it does prevent them from dropping even further behind in the race to qualify for the MLS Cup playoffs.
The Earthquakes appeared to score in the seventh minute, when a shot from Dawkins inside the area deflected off Chirs Wondolowski and into the back of the net.
Amarikwa would not miss his second opportunity of the night, redirecting a strong cross from Fatai Alashe past Moor and fellow center back Josh Williams to give the Earthquakes a 1-0 lead. It was the first time San Jose has been ahead in a match since they closed out a 3-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo back on May 11 - a span of seven league games.
