San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 Seattle Sounders FC: Dramatic finish
San Jose grabbed a win despite a late comeback for Seattle.
Thearon W. Henderson
Two goals in stoppage time, one from either side, saw the San Jose Earthquakes first surrender a lead and then grab a late win as the home side topped the visiting Seattle Sounders 2-1 on Saturday.
Simon Dawkins opened the scoring in the 71st minute, but the match really didn't kick into life until after the 90 minute mark.
Fredy Montero banged home a header two minutes into stoppage time to pull his team level and seemingly steal a point, but Steven Lenhart was having none of it.
The big forward answered back with a header of his own a minute later to pull back all three points for the Earthquakes.
