Sam Sarver scored in the third minute of second-half stoppage time and FC Dallas continued its recent surge with a 3-2 victory over the host San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday.
Petar Musa and Patrickson Delgado also scored goals for FC Dallas (6-4-4, 22 points), while Jonathan Sirois made six saves, including one from the penalty spot, in his club debut. The club is 3-1-0 this month while scoring 10 total goals in the stretch.
FC Dallas was without head coach Eric Quill, who received a straight red card in 3-2 loss Wednesday against the Whitecaps, while assistant coach Mark Briggs ran the club.
Reid Roberts and Beau Leroux scored goals for the Earthquakes (9-3-2, 29 points), while Daniel made seven saves. After a red-hot start to the season, San Jose is now 0-2-2 in May but remained even with the Vancouver Whitecaps for most points in MLS.
Delgado scored 54 seconds into the match after the Earthquakes were unable to clear a ball out of the penalty area. Delgado took possession near the penalty spot and scored on a deflection inside the left post. The goal was the fifth fastest in club history.
The Earthquakes tied it 1-1 in the 18th minute when Leroux swung his right leg from near the top of the penalty and delivered a perfect strike into the top right corner of the goal.
San Jose had a chance to take the lead in the 42nd minute, but Leroux's shot from the penalty spot was saved on a dive from Sirois.
FC Dallas took a 2-1 lead in the 49th minute when Musa scored his 12th of the season to move him alone in second for most goals in the league behind the Chicago Fire's Hugo Cuypers.
San Jose tied it in the 81st minute when Roberts scored off a corner kick when FC Dallas failed to clear the ball from the front of the goal.
Sarver's game winner three minutes into second-half stoppage time came when FC Dallas took possession near midfield and sent the forward on a breakaway to beat Daniel.
