After the addition of Geovanni San Jose has immediately looked better on attack, though oddly Geovanni hasn’t been deeply involved yet. Just before being taken off Alvarez missed a golden opportunity one-on-one against Ricketts, blasting a close shot over the bar when he had a few different players (including Geovanni) that might have been open on the far post.

San Jose’s defense has been resolute and Jon Busch has been simply brilliant, but they must survive another 10 minutes plus extra time to win three points in this rivalry match.
