San Jose Earthquakes vs. Toronto FC, 2016 MLS Match Report: Simon Dawkins dramatic strike gives nine-man Quakes improbable 2-1 victory

Both Panamaniacs see straight red cards, but Dawkins comes to the rescue in 2-1 victory

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- On a night when a pair of key refereeing decisions looked to have doomed the San Jose Earthquakes to their eighth game without a win, the Quakes, playing down two men, earned a dramatic 2-1 win over visiting Toronto FC at sold out Avaya Stadium.

Red cards to both Anibal Godoy and Alberto Quintero looked certain to sink the Earthquakes bid to end a seven game winless streak, and a Toronto equalizer after the first red card did not bode well for San Jose's chances.
