SAN JOSE, Calif. -- With one pawing save, San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper David Bingham showed why the Quakes’ defense and their strength at Avaya Stadium have gone hand in hand this year.
Bingham dove to his left and palmed aside a strong header from Sporting Kansas City striker Dom Dwyer in the 29th minute Sunday, one of five saves the newly christened US international made in the first half of the Quakes’ eventual 1-0 victory against SKC.
With the win, San Jose improved to 4-0-1 at home in 2016. The Quakes (4-2-2 overall) have only allowed two goals in those five matches at Avaya, where they went 8-3-6 during the stadium’s opening season.
