Huckerby continues Quakes' revival
Header in 83rd minute the difference as San Jose topples Kansas City
Two months ago, the San Jose Earthquakes were dead and buried. Saturday night against the Kansas City Wizards, they continued their resurrection, as Darren Huckerby's header with seven minutes remaining allowed the Quakes to claim a 2-1 victory and continue their push for a playoff spot.
An Arturo Alvarez header had given San Jose a 1-0 lead two minutes before halftime, only for the Wizards' Davy Arnaud to equalize courtesy of a Michael Harrington cross in the 64th minute. That merely set the stage for Huckerby's heroics, as the Englishman headed home Ryan Johnson's knockdown from close range to give the Quakes a priceless victory.
