Bingham's Penalty Kick Save - May 5, 2015
Arguably the biggest save of the year thus far transpired in the Quakes second match of a three-game road trip against Houston. After Adam Jahn converted on a set piece from Matias Perez Garcia to put the visitors ahead, a penalty kick was awarded to Houston just minutes later with a chance to level the score. As Houston forward Giles Barnes stepped up to take the spot kick, Bingham lunged to his left to meet Barnes' attempt, batting away the ball out of harms way. The save helped San Jose cement a hard-fought 1-0 win in Kinnear’s return in Houston and fuel a unbeaten three-game road trip.

Chris Wondolowski has tallied his fair-share of goals in his career.

As cool as ever, Wondo burried his spot kick to the right of Tally Hall for his 100th MLS career goal. Wondolowski is now just the ninth player to reach the 100-goal mark in MLS history.
