A makeshift, short-handed side succumbed to the difficult fixture with a 2-0 loss to the Portland Timbers in Providence Park that sent San Jose out of the US Open Cup in its first round of participation.
Providence park has not been kind to the San Jose Earthquakes this year: in three trips to the City of Roses they've taken home three losses and just one goal. This time around, the 2-0 defeat sent the team crashing out of the US Open Cup, keeping alive the truly staggering streak of never having defeated an MLS side (or any first-division side, for that matter) in the history of the competition.
