The home team was trying to put together their first winning streak in MLS play, but visitors the San Jose Earthquakes didn't play along. After a scoreless first half, the Quakes rallied for a second-half goal to beat host Minnesota United 1-0 Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium. That made for their first win since Week 2 of the season.
Florian Jungwirth scored off a scramble on a corner kick in the 54th minute to give the Quakes the lead and the visitors hung on against a late flurry by the Loons to take all three points.
