One point. One simple, solitary point. It doesn’t sound like much, but it can be the determining factor between preparing for a first round playoff matchup or packing up the locker room for winter.
San Jose picked up a crucial point on Saturday night against FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium with a 2-2 draw. The Frisco, Texas venue has been unkind to the Earthquakes, who both opened and closed the 2015 season with heartbreaking losses on that very pitch. Then again, it has been unfair to most visitors of late, with FC Dallas now holding a 27-6-5 record at home since the start of the 2014 season.
