SAN JOSE (AP) — Daniel Steres scored his first goal of the season in the 86th minute to help the Houston Dynamo beat the San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 Wednesday night.
San Jose (4-18-2) has lost eight of its last nine games (a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Fire on July 7) and has been outscored 25-8 over that span.
Steres, who came on in place of Griffin Dorsey in the 73rd minute, headed home a perfectly-placed ball played by Amine Bassi for the game’s only goal in the closing minutes.
The Dynamo had 58% possession and outshot San Jose 22-8, 7-0 on target.
