The San Jose Earthquakes<\/a> saw their unbeaten streak snapped at nine games<\/a> Saturday night when FC Dallas broke a scoreless duel by erupting for three goals in the match\u2019s final 12 minutes.<\/p>\n

Petar Musa scored twice in a five-minute span for Dallas, which earned a shutout as former Earthquakes goalkeeper Daniel helped prevent his old teammates from finding the net.<\/p>\n

Daniel, who was traded to Dallas in July, came up with one of the game\u2019s best defensive plays in the 28th minute while turning back Ousseni Bouda\u2019s scoring bid.<\/p>\n

Bouda had a one-on-one opportunity in transition for the Quakes after Beau Leroux stole a pass and lifted a longball that was hauled in by Bouda. But before Boudda could cut back and shoot in front of the six-yard box, Daniel swiped the ball away.<\/p>\n

\u201cBouda had that breakaway. Give Daniel a lot of credit. Heck of a save by Daniel,\u201d said Quakes coach Bruce Arena. \u201cYou know, you got to finish your chances, and we knew it was going to be a low-scoring game, a tight game, and it turned out to be that.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo not being able to convert a quality chance makes a difference in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The save was Daniel\u2019s only official one but it enabled him to earn his fourth clean sheet in his eighth start for Dallas (15-7-9), which began the day in third place in the West. Daniel had five shutouts in his 15 starts with the Quakes this season.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, San Jose (13-9-9) remained in fourth place<\/a> in the Western Conference, a spot that would ensure the Quakes would have home-field advantage in the first round of the MLS playoffs.<\/p>\n

Musa ended Daniel\u2019s scoreless duel with San Jose\u2019s Angus Gunn when he used assists from Bernard Kamungo and Santiago Moreno to score in the 83rd minute.<\/p>\n

Musa added his 21st goal of the season \u2014 second only to the 25 of Inter Miami\u2019s Lionel Messi \u2014 in the 88th minute on a penalty kick. Musa took the penalty kick after Kaick Ferreira was fouled by San Jose defender Paul Marie.<\/p>\n

Moreno capped the scoring when he used an assist from Ramiro Benetti in the fourth minute of stoppage time to notch his fourth goal along with his third assist.<\/p>\n

San Jose, which has just three matches remaining in the regular season, will next host the Colorado Rapids at PayPal Park on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Jose Earthquakes saw their unbeaten streak snapped at nine games Saturday night when FC Dallas broke…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476053,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,13597,20604,223,54660,731,154],"class_list":["post-476052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-inside-sports","tag-major-league-soccer","tag-news","tag-san-jose-earthquakes","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476052"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476052\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
