SEATTLE (AP) — Osaze De Rosario scored a goal in the 89th minute, Jesús Ferreira and Albert Rusnák each added a goal, and the Seattle Sounders beat the San Jose Earthquakes 3-2 on Wednesday night to extend their unbeaten streak to nine game.
Nouhou Tolo played a first-touch entry pass from the left side, just outside the area, to De Rosario for a header from the top of the 6-yard box the skipped into the net to cap the scoring.
The Sounders (7-1-3) are third in the Western Conference with 24 points. San Jose (9-9-2) and Vancouver are tied for first with 29 points, the most in MLS.

Nick Fernandez scored his first career goal in MLS in the second minute and Preston Judd added a goal in the 69th for San Jose.
Seattle conceded more than one goal in a match for just the second time this season.
