That fact was written all over Romell Quioto's face as he smiled cheek-to-cheek before jumping into the crowd to celebrate his game-winning goal in the waning minutes of Saturday's 3-2 win over the San Jose Earthquakes.

Forward Mauro Manotas set up the goal, attacking from the edge and fixing a pass across the mouth of the net where he connected with Quioto, who initially struggled to get on top of the ball before splitting a defender and the keeper and tapping in the score.
