Having finished their season with four straight draws and only one win in their last 11 games, this was exactly the result the Earthquakes must’ve feared.
The Quakes’ conservative, defensive-minded approach is what allowed them to bounce back from a last-place finish a year ago to earn the nine-seed under a new head coach. But when pressed with a must-win game in which they needed to get numbers up the field and push the ball forward, the Quakes struggled to get anything going.
Featuring a starting lineup stacked with players who consistently show a quality first touch, and a coach, Peter Vermes, who has been at the helm since 2009, Sporting KC looked like a team that would be tough to break down. The bright spot of the game for San Jose was 20-year-old budding talent Cade Cowell, who struggled in the club’s final regular season game against Austin FC and started this game on the bench. But Gonzalez subbed him in for Mathew Hoppe in the 56th minute and Cowell looked dangerous every time he touched the ball.
Gonzalez felt like his guys could’ve had more chances if they took advantage of opportunities to cross the ball into dangerous areas, but the scoring chances rarely materialized. San Jose captain Jackson Yueill skied the Earthquakes’ second attempt way over the goal and they couldn’t recover.
