BEAVERTON, Ore. – Jack McInerney was right where he wanted to be, camped out on the back shoulder of San Jose Earthquakes rookie defender Kip Colvey.
With his sixth sense for finding space, McInerney drifts away from Colvey as the ball soars into the box. Suddenly, the ball is headed right into the path of the onrushing McInerney, who raises his right leg just in time to get a foot to the ball before Earthquakes goalkeeper David Bingham can grab it.
In a matter of a few seconds, the Portland Timbers cut San Jose's two goal lead to one.
