"I think the effort tonight was great. The performance certainly was not perfect, but good teams win these kinds of games because they know how to grind it out on a night when you know we're not moving the ball particularly well. We played together as a team for 90 plus minutes, and to leave Philadelphia with three points is huge."
"I think it's a natural connection that we're starting to build, and I'm really happy about it. We're very happy to have Timo on the team. He brings a lot of experience, but he's also just a great guy. He's always looking to find his teammates and makes things easier for the rest of the team."
"Werner is one of the biggest signings in club history and already is clearly has established chemistry with Bouda. Werner debuted in the second half of last week's 2-0 home win over Atlanta and was on the field for just 18 minutes before he assisted on Bouda's goal in that game."
The San Jose Earthquakes achieved a 1-0 victory over the Philadelphia Union in Chester, Pennsylvania, maintaining their undefeated start to the season. German import Timo Werner recorded his second assist in as many games, setting up Ousseni Bouda's goal in the 59th minute. Goalkeeper Daniel earned his third consecutive shutout. Head coach Bruce Arena praised the team's ability to grind out a win despite imperfect play and limited ball movement. Bouda scored his second goal of the season on Werner's low diagonal pass. The Earthquakes' 3-0-0 record represents their strongest opening since entering MLS in 1996. Philadelphia Union remains winless at 0-3-0 after winning the Supporter's Shield last year.
