Leroux, Daniel lead Earthquakes to 1-0 victory, handing Whitecaps first loss of season | National Sports

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Beau Leroux scored in first-half stoppage time and Daniel De Sousa Britto made it stand as the San Jose Earthquakes cooled off Vancouver with a 1-0 victory on Saturday night, ruining the start of a five-match homestand for the Whitecaps.

Leroux scored unassisted in the second minute of stoppage time to give the Earthquakes (4-1-0) the lead for good. Leroux’s first goal this season comes after scoring five times in 33 matches as a rookie last year.
