Following Wednesday night’s victory for the Houston Dynamo over Sporting Kansas City, the Earthquakes will have even more work to do to reach the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs. Sporting defender Erik Palmer-Brown, who recently agreed to a future contract with Manchester City, scored an own goal late in the match to ensure three points for the Dynamo.
The good news is that all teams are now level on games played and the Quakes are just one point below the playoff line. The Quakes are still very much alive, but will need to finish the season strong, and possibly get a little help along the way.
