SAN JOSE, Calif. — The San Jose Earthquakes have been searching for their scoring touch for well over a year, but if their 2017 MLS regular season opening 1-0 win over the Montreal Impact is an indication, they may have found a recipe for creating more opportunities in front of goal.
An infusion of young talent in the attacking corps, highlighted by the late preseason addition of Albanian midfielder Jahmir Hyka, has given the Quakes the energy to establish their will on games, most notably through the execution of a high press when the other team has the ball.
