Minnesota United (1-1-0, 3 points) represents a step up in class for the Quakes. Last week, the Loons earned a 1-0 win over CF Montreal that was more dominant than the score suggested. Kelvin Yeboah finally scored a deserved winner in the 69th minute, after he thought he drew a penalty kick only a few minutes earlier.

SAN JOSE – Beau Leroux walked slowly outside the Earthquakes’ locker room and scanned his surroundings. As a hometown kid, this playground is where he’d come every chance he could.
