Defender Reid Roberts executed a remarkable bicycle kick save to prevent a goal by Dániel Sallói, helping the San Jose Earthquakes secure a 1-1 draw against Toronto FC. This result allowed San Jose to maintain their unbeaten road record, tying the 2022 New York Red Bulls’ record of five consecutive away wins to start a season. Toronto initially took the lead with Sallói’s early goal, assisted by Jonathan Osorio and Markus Cimermancic. San Jose equalized in the 13th minute with Preston Judd’s goal, assisted by Niko Tsakiris, who later left the game due to injury. Despite a disallowed goal for offside, San Jose held on for the draw. The Earthquakes remain at the top of the Western Conference and Supporters’ Shield standings.
