Mezquida scores late but 'Caps fall 2-1 to Quakes at BC Place

VANCOUVER, BC – Nicolas Mezquida scored his third goal of the season in the fourth and final minute of stoppage time, but it was too little, too late for Vancouver Whitecaps FC (8W-11L-6D).

The ‘Caps fell 2-1 to San Jose Earthquakes (7W-6L-10D) in front of a sold-out crowd of 22,120 on Friday night at BC Place after a controversial Quincy Amarikwa goal in the first half and well-taken Simon Dawkins strike in the second.

San Jose got things started in the 12th minute, when Fatai Alashe headed a Dawkins cross off the crossbar, before opening the scoring two minutes later.
