NYCFC holds on for hard-fought 0-0 draw vs. San Jose

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Josh Saunders made four saves and first-place New York City tied the San Jose Earthquakes 0-0 on Friday night.

It was the first draw for NYCFC (10-7-7) since May 29 and the third straight tie for San Jose (6-6-10).

San Jose controlled the possession in the second half. Chris Wondolowski headed a cross just wide in the 53rd minute, sailed an open shot in the 57th and hit the post in the 69th. Chad Barrett got behind the defense for a through ball but he lost a one-on-one battle with Saunders in the 75th.
