Despite playing the last 40 minutes with 10 men, the San Jose Earthquakes defeated FC Cincinnati 1-0 on Saturday night at the Avaya stadium, extending their unbeaten streak.

The Quakes took the lead in the 22nd minute of Nick Lima's first goal of the season. On a free kick by Magnus Eriksson, Lima received Cristian Espinoza's ball, took things in hand, and sits his shot in the corner of the net.

Espinoza was sent off for his second offense in the 51st minute after retiring Mathieu Deplagne. San Jose stayed on the front foot and almost added a goal in insurance, but Jackson Yueill led his shot just beyond the edge of the penalty area, which stopped at the hour of Thu.

FC Cincinnati insisted on equalization in the last quarter of an hour. Fatai Alashe scored two goals after scoring against his former club, stuck on a Roland Lamah cross and fired a header on the frame. But Daniel Vega jumped up to try his luck, pushing it just above the crossbar.

Three things

  • THE GREAT IMAGE: Break the tremors! Even a red card early in the second period can slow down San Jose, who has extended his run of four defeats undefeated and has moved, although it's only for the moment, above the playoff line in the West. Meanwhile, it's more frustrating for FC Cincinnati, who has not scored five times in a row.
  • MOMENT OF THE GAME: Vega is one of the main reasons why the Quakes took all three points with this decisive parry over the crossbar, depriving Alashe of a safe equalizer against his former club.
  • MAN OF THE GAMELima did not only score the winning goal, but also cleared a critical shot by intercepting a dangerous ball played in the box for a corner in the 66th minute.
