SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Simon Dawkins scored in the 70th minute and the San Jose Earthquakes, playing down two men most of the second half, beat Toronto FC 2-1 on Saturday night to end a seven-game winless streak.

San Jose (6-6-7) won for the first time since beating Houston 3-1 on May 11.

Dawkins fired a right-footer from just outside the top of the box to put the Earthquakes up 2-1.

Quincy Amarikwa put the Earthquakes up 1-0 in the 30th minute but, 12 minutes later, Anibal Godoy received a red card, leaving San Jose a man down. Justin Morrow capitalized in the 44th, tapping a left-footer into a wide-open net to tie it.

Alberto Quintero drew a red card in the 53rd minute and San Jose played the final 40-plus minutes two men down.

Toronto (6-7-6) outshot San Jose 22-8.
