The San Jose Earthquakes waited until the ninth week of the season to win their first home game. After their 2-1 win over the New England Revolution on Saturday, they've now won two straight. Prior to last week's win, the Earthquakes had won just one of their first seven.
San Jose Earthquakes Vs. New England Revolution: Quakes Win Second Straight
Ellis McCloughan and Bobby Convey each scored for the Earthquakes, who have now turned in three straight quality performances since losing to the Philadelphia Union in a match in which they played up a man for more than a half. McCloughan's goal came off a nice cross from Chris Wondolowski. Convey's goal came on a free kick from about 20 yards out that he curled inside the far post.
The Revolution did pull within a goal when Chris Tierney scored in the 86th minute, but it wasn't enough to avoid their fourth loss of the season. Tierney scored on a free kick from about 25 yards out.
