Kikanović gave San Jose (4-7-6) a 1-0 lead in the 47th minute and his goal in the 87th made it 2-0.

Brian Gutierrez, a 19-year-old homegrown, scored his first MLS goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time for Chicago (4-9-5).

San Jose visits Toronto, and Chicago plays host to Columbus, on Saturday.
