Toronto FC miss out on victory after late Earthquakes strike in season opener

SAN JOSE, CALIF.—Oswaldo Alanis scored on the last kick of the game as the San Jose Earthquakes salvaged a 2-2 draw against Toronto FC on Saturday in the MLS season opener for both teams.

Alanis, in his first MLS game, scored on a free kick in the 95th minute to complete San Jose’s comeback from two goals down and deny Toronto coach Greg Vanney his 100th MLS victory.

The Mexican defender signed with the Earthquakes this January on a one-year loan from Mexico’s Chivas de Guadalajara.

Spanish playmaker Alejandro Pozuelo scored on a penalty kick in the 40th minute for TFC and Canadian Richie Laryea tacked on a goal early in the second half for a 2-0 lead.
