: MLS: Chicago at San Jose

Terrific, high-paced game, with the Quakes having tons of chances (including a few sitters), but failing to capitalize. Donovan played well, but he can’t do it on his own, especially against a team as organized as the Fire. Still, though the Fire are arguably the best team in the league, San Jose looked good and weren’t overwhelmed, though their possession play was more frantic and haphazard than Chicago’s. Disappointing result, especially considering all the chances (the Fire’s Zack Thorton had nine saves), but nothing to be ashamed of. The Quakes lose their first home game since the home opener! Final: 1-0 Chicago.
