The San Jose Earthquakes suffered a tough 3-2 loss to FC Dallas on Saturday night at PayPal Park. The winning goal was scored by Sam Sarver in the 93rd minute, leaving the Quakes with a four-game winless streak. Earthquakes coach Bruce Arena was not happy with the referee's decision not to call a foul on the play before Sarver's breakaway. The Quakes had taken a goal back in the 19th minute with a score from San Jose native Beau Leroux. But FC Dallas took a 2-1 lead after Petar Musa scored his 12th goal of the season in the 49th minute. The Earthquakes were playing their fourth match since Timo Werner was injured in a U.S Open Cup Round of 16 game against Minnesota United on April 28. The team has hit some speedbumps, earning draws with Toronto and Vancouver before allowing a goal in the 89th minute in a 3-2 loss to the Seattle Sounders on Wednesday. The Earthquakes are also dealing with the loss of midfielder Niko Tsakiris, who is expected to miss the next three or four months after undergoing surgery on his right groin on Tuesday. The two teams traded goals in the first 19 minutes, with Dallas taking a 1-0 lead just 54 seconds into the match. The Quakes got the goal back in the 19th minute with Leroux's score. And then Reid Roberts scored his first career MLS goal in the 81st minute to tie the game 2-2. But Sarver's late goal sealed the win for FC Dallas. The Earthquakes' winless skid reached four games, with a record of 0-2-2. Arena also questioned the use of VAR, saying it was confusing to everyone. The Quakes had nine corner kicks and 13 shot attempts before Roberts' goal. So the Earthquakes will look to bounce back from this tough loss. The team's next match is still to be determined. But for now, the Quakes are left to ponder what could have been. The loss was a tough one to swallow, especially given the late goal. The Earthquakes had fought hard to tie the game, only to see it slip away in the final minutes.
