ball on the attacking side of midfield and scored on the far post. San Jose scored a consolation goal

in the fourth minute of stoppage time when Ousseni Bouda found the net from the goal area, but it was too little too late.

San Jose will have to improve their away form if they want to challenge for the playoffs this season.
