Earthquakes Vs. Rapids Final Score: Colorado Falls to San Jose 2-1
The San Jose Earthquakes scored twice in the last six minutes to shock the Colorado Rapids 2-1 on Wednesday night. San Jose, second in the Western Conference, improves to 9-3-3 with the victory. The Rapids fall to 6-8-1 and remain in fifth in the West.

The first goal for San Jose was an own goal. Alan Gordon ripped a shot that bounced off Rapids' defender Hunter Freeman and into the back of the net in the 83rd minute to tie the game at 1-1. San Jose would win in overtime when Gordon was tripped by Colorado goalie Matt Pickens to earn a penalty kick for Chris Wondolowski. Wondolowski bured his 12 goal and fifth game-winner of the year to give the Earthquakes the win.
