Brian Ching wasn’t able to start, but evidently he’s well enough to come on as a substitute. Houston’s best offensive player will have about 10 minutes to help his team find the game tying goal while San Jose will likely play back and defend as tenaciously as they can until the final whistle blows.
Meanwhile, San Jose used their final substitution to take off a clearly fatigued Geovanni and brought on Brad Ring, who is undoubtedly a defensive substitution.
