The San Jose Earthquakes’ final game of 2020 was everything you’ve come to expect from their games.
In the playoffs against Sporting Kansas City on Sunday, San Jose went down early, started slow and made the same mistake to concede two separate times — but also fought back, equalized and took the lead, and then came back at the death to equalize and force extra time, before falling in a penalty shootout.
Energy. Fight. Mistakes, yes, but stellar play to make up for them and as always, a never say die attitude. It was all on display.
