The third time apparently is the charm.
The Caps needed a third bite at the apple to beat the San Jose Earthquakes but when they absolutely needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, the squad stepped up with a vital second half to turn around a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win.
The Caps went with a different formation, although the defense and central midfield pairing stayed the same from last match. Russell Teibert moved to the bench, however, and Cristian Dajome and Tosaint Ricketts were out on the wings alongside Fredy Montero and Lucas Cavallini more centrally.
