SAN JOSE, Calif. — Saturday’s home opener was not going the San Jose Earthquakes’ way, especially after Toronto went up by two goals early in the second half.
But the Quakes would not quit, and deep into stoppage time, defender Oswaldo Alanis struck a free kick golazo that completed a dramatic comeback and gave San Jose a 2-2 draw against the MLS Cup runner-up.
TFC took a first-half lead courtesy of a penalty kick by Alejandro Pozuelo, then doubled the advantage on Richie -Laryea’s second-ever MLS goal. The Quakes halved the lead through Andy Rios before Alanis’ late heroics tied the game at two goals apiece.
