SAN JOSE, Calif. – For all the talk about Alberto Quintero’s speed after his signing with the San Jose Earthquakes, it was his soft touch that led to his first MLS assist – and the Quakes’ first win with the Panamanian international on board.
Seconds into the second half, Quintero took a square pass Quincy Amarikwa, then deftly looped the ball over the top of 6-foot-7 Colorado center back Axel Sjoberg, giving Chris Wondolowski the opportunity to bounce his free header out of the reach of Rapids goalkeeper Zac MacMath.
