The San Jose Earthquakes didn’t want to end their dream at Disney World, but they will leave Orlando with their heads held high.
The Quakes faced Minnesota United, a club that has become a bogeyteam for them over the past couple seasons, and the Loons’ mastery continued, as they cruised to a 4-1 win in the MLS is Back Tournament quarterfinal on Saturday.
Naturally head coach Matias Almeyda and the players were disappointed to be knocked out of the tournament, but for a team trying to rise up the ranks of MLS, the overall tournament performance was considered a good benchmark to use moving forward.
