Quakes score thrilling late equalizer on College Night

Photo by Jovanni Arroyo-Camberos The San Jose Earthquakes(2-2-2) are no stranger to late goals and in this game they needed some more of that magic as they drew 1-1 against FC Dallas (3-0-2) on Friday night. The Quakes celebrated a late equalizer in front of a crowd comprised of fans and students from colleges around the Bay Area for College Night. “I thought we played some good stuff [in the] first 30-35 minutes” Said San Jose Earthquakes head coach Dominic Kinnear. “I thought we looked pretty sharp moving the ball well, second half we came out and I thought we looked a little lackadaisical and they were getting chances because of that.”   The Earthquakes began the game with most of the possession.
