After snapping their three-game unbeaten streak to the Timbers a week prior, the Earthquakes bounced back with a 1-0 win over Sporting KC at Avaya Stadium on Sunday. The victory extended the Quakes’ unbeaten streak at home to 10 games dating back to last season and improved their overall record to 4-2-2 in 2016.
Goalkeeper David Bingham was the hero in the first half, saving five shots in the opening frame alone to help preserve the Quakes’ third shutout at home this season. Bingham’s presence in goal undoubtedly has been a catalyst for the Earthquakes' recent success. In fact, no goalkeeper in club history has ever tallied more wins (21) or shutouts (15) through their first 46 starts with the club.
