Domination!

It was a big win for the L.A. Galaxy today as they played away in Utah against Real Salt Lake. As us Galaxy fans know, the team is notorious for their losses as visitors. Last season, I believe, they only one 1 out of their 14 away games. So today's victory was monumental in that respect. Also, Coach Sampson has been very ambitious as of late, altering both the starting line-up as well as the formation of the team. Today's gamble seemed to pay off, although we lost Vagenas early on to what seemed to be a head injury. Both Jones and Hartman were not part of the starting 11, although Cobi later came in as a substitution for Vagenas. Young Steve Cronin guarded the net, looking to accumilate some actual playing time. Within the first 6 minutes Real Salt Lake had penitrated our net. It wasn't looking so promising for Cronin. But soon Donovan retaliated with a steal off of a Salt Lake dribble. With things tied up, Galaxy looked to advance their lead, and it came in the form of a header off of Cobi Jones, with an assist from Chris Albright. In the middle of the 2nd half Galaxy, once again, invaded Salt Lake keeper Garlick's territory when a well placed pass from Donovan to Herculez Gomez found it's way to the back of the net. But the scoring wasn't over, when Jason Kreis pounded his second nail of the game on the Galaxy's coffin, but it still wasn't enough. Galaxy snagged it's second win of the season, and it's first on the road this season. Galaxy finds itself in Foxborough, Mass. next week against the New England Revolution. Hopefully, today was the start of a winning streak on the road.
