Ex-Ghana U20 star Gershon Koffie scored to give Vancouver Whitecaps a 2-1 comeback victory over the San Jose Earthquakes in American top-flight on Saturday.

Second-half substitute Eric Hassli scored in the final minute of added time to give the Whitecaps  the victory after Koffie drew his side level.

After taking a pass from Davide Chiumiento, Hassli fired in a shot off goalkeeper Jon Busch's hand and inside the far post for his first MLS goal since August.

Chris Wondolowski scored his MLS-leading 11th goal for the Earthquakes in the 11th minute, and Gershon Koffie tied it for the Whitecaps in the 40th minute.

Vancouver improved, handing league-leading San Jose its first loss in eight games.
