Quakes Go Down in Stoppage TIme to Dynamo

The San Jose Earthquakes fell to the Houston Dynamo 2-1 on Wednesday night at Robertson Stadium. Stuart Holden scored in the 6th minute to put the Dynamo up 1-0. Scott Sealy tied the game for the Earthquakes in the 68th minute and Stuart Holden scored again in stoppage time to give Houston the victory.

Kei Kamara was ejected in the 11th minute but the Earthquakes could not take advantage of being a man up. San Jose Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop knew they let one slip away “We’re obviously disappointed with the result. We had a chance to maybe get 3 points tonight, and we let it slip, so that was hard. It wasn’t the prettiest of games, but I think our shape, at least in the second half, was decent. We got a gift to get back in the game, but from there, with a tie at least you can hold your head up and say you were in the game, but the score at the end was kind of a kick in the groin for us.”

Houston Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear was glad his team got three points from the game “We had some good play and some lucky bounces that went our way and some mistakes but it turned out to be a great win for us. We started out the game great going down a man makes it difficult give it to San Jose who kept putting us under pressure we made a mistake but we got a break at the end. We got 3 points when we needed the win.”
