Quakes Earn Another Road Draw, This Time at Toronto

At BMO Field in Toronto, Canada, the San Jose Earthquakes earned another road draw posting a shutout and at the same time being shutout themselves. This is a familiar result for Quakes fans this season. In front of 20,264, the Quakes didn't give up many opportunities and created even fewer themselves. But a road draw is a positive result that the team will gladly take at this time.

San Jose Assistant coach,m Ian Russell felt getting a point on the road was nice to have, "We got a point on the road although we were under pressure. We kind of held our own, got a point and that's good. Our defense has been good all year. We're hard to score against, but we just have a hard time scoring and hopefully we'll fix that. We've got some new players so it's got to help."

The Quakes played all three of their new signings including Darren Huckerby, Francisco Lima and Scott Sealy. Darren Huckerby has only had a few traning sessions with the Quakes since singing, commented on the TFC game, "Tough, it was tough. Three days training in two months so it's very hard to get into the game, but like I say the first one's out of the way now. I'm looking forward to getting back and start playing a few home games and we'll see how it goes."
