The Quakes went up 2-1 when Convey scored a few minutes later but the Fire came back a second time to make it 2-2 on McBride's goal following a header by Cuauhtemoc Blanco.

San Jose went ahead 3-2 in the 75th when Alvarez scored on a penalty kick. Rolfe scored the game-tying goal off a pass from Pappa.
