Niko Tsakiris - Scores winner against Austin Tsarikis scored a goal off his lone shot after coming off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 win over Austin. Impact Tsarikis returned to the team after the FIFA U20 World Cup and was brought as part of a double substitution in the 73rd minute. Four minutes later, when everyone expected Cristian Espinoza to take a free kick close to the box, the youngster caught everyone by surprise with a spectacular finish that went in for what ended up being the game-winner for San Jose. This was the first career league goal for Tsarikis, who should be up for a bigger role and more playing time next year.
