Lima, Bingham lead Quakes to win
Nick Lima scored his second goal of the season, David Bingham got his sixth shutout and the Earthquakes hung on to beat Colorado 1-0 at Avaya Stadium on Saturday night.
San Jose snapped a three-game losing streak with its first win since July 1.
Lima scored in the 58th minute off assists by Darwin Ceren and Shea Salinas. Salinas’ corner kick found Ceren at the top of the box and he headed a pass to a waiting Lima. Lima trapped the pass and drilled the ball into the net.
The Rapids are winless over their last three matches, and are 0-8-1 on the road this season.

Barcelona 3, Real Madrid 2: Barcelona beat cross-nation rival Real Madrid in Miami in a dramatic El Clasico showdown. Barcelona star Neymar left with an early injury before returning minutes later. But not before teammate Lionel Messi opened the scoring with a shot that deflected off Real’s Raphael Varane. Shortly after his return, Neymar dribbled down the left flank and passed to Ivan Rakitic at the top of the penalty area, from where he scored to make it 2-0 after less than eight minutes. Real bounced back in the 13th on a Mateo Kovacic goal. Marco Asensio leveled it in the 36th. But Gerard Pique put Barcelona back up five minutes into the second half, volleying home a Neymar free kick. Barcelona earned the International Champions Cup North American trophy with the win. Real Madrid will play the MLS All-Stars in Chicago Wednesday.
