SAN JOSE, Calif. — For the second time in three home matches, the San Jose Earthquakes limped to a scoreless draw, as the visiting New England Revolution escaped sold-out Avaya Stadium Wednesday night with a point.
The Quakes, who were also held to a scoreless draw with New York City FC earlier this month, saw their playoff positioning improve with the result — they are now tied for the sixth and final berth in the Western Conference with the Portland Timbers — but another lost opportunity to put away a lesser opponent at home may eventually prove costly later this season.
