However, Quakes coach Bruce Arena is more concerned with his squad not being able to finish strongly, which is prevent late, gut-wrenching goals.<\/p>\n<p>The MLS\u2019 winningest coach lamented his team\u2019s recent pattern of committing crucial mistakes that have prevented either victories or points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve wasted too many games this year at the end,\u201d said Arena, mentioning two winnable games given away to the L.A. Galaxy since the post-World Cup break ended in July. \u201cWe should\u2019ve had three points at home against the L.A. Galaxy and missed a penalty kick in the closing minutes. We conceded a goal in the closing minutes at L.A. We conceded one tonight. We\u2019d be in much better shape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lesson to learn is how to close a game. Disappointed with the fact we couldn\u2019t close it out, and maybe that\u2019s something we can learn. There are positives to take out tonight, don\u2019t get me wrong. (But) to be a really good team, we need to close that game out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Quakes opened the scoring in the eighth minute when Niko Tsakiris took a pass in the left half-space from Beau Leroux at the edge of the box, then laid it off for Leroux, who slid a low shot for the far post. The ball rolled by Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver to give San Jose a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=8548\">Asking Eric: I don\u2019t like the plans my son has for my funeral<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Austin thought it had tied the match up two minutes later when Besard Sabovi\u0107 connected with Facundo Torres in the opposing box, but the goal was called back as the VAR review ruled a handball by Torres before his would-be score.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>San Jose was able to protect its slim 1-0 lead in the 77th minute after Torres found himself alone in the box. However, Quakes goalkeeper Angus Gunn denied him with a kick save to preserve the lead.<\/p>\n<p>It stayed that way until the waning moments of stoppage time as San Jose\u2019s hopes for a victory were once again dashed.<\/p>\n<p>The Quakes now sit in sixth place in the Western Conference (35 points), while Austin remains in 14th (6-10-7, 25 points), ahead of only Sporting Kansas City (4-16-3, 15 points), the league\u2019s worst squad.<\/p>\n<p>San Jose is back in action on Wednesday night in San Diego, facing a team that had won five of its last six matches before losing 1-0 to Orlando City FC on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=8547\">Bellarmine takes big step by holding off Campolindo for an impressive 17-16 victory<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Quakes haven&#8217;t won since May 23 but they earned a draw in their second straight match Saturday night, following a four-game losing streak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
