Good Ol' #10

Galaxy was in action once again today. This time they faced off against the Kansas City Wizards on their home turf. It also saw the official return of Landon Donovan to the field. The Galaxian defense was in top form, and all plays seemed to be Donovan-ized, seeing how he took control of the ball, advancing the Galaxy towards the Wizard's net. Apparently this tactic worked out for them, seeing how Donovan was able to connect, not once, but twice. The first was scored in the 36th minute of the 1st half, and the second was in the 2nd minute of stoppage time in the 2nd half. (Cutting it close!) Looks like Donovan returning was just the shot in the arm that the team needed. Hopefully this win (the first since April 29th) will mark the return of the Championship L.A. Galaxy that we've been expecting to see all season long. Final score 2-0. (YAY!) Next up, we come home to the HDC for the 4th of July match-up against the New York Red Bulls. (Who now have Todd Dunivant, who was traded in exchange for some allocation [money] to strengthen the Galaxy. Also let go was Marcelo Saragosa) Let's keep our fingers crossed that the post game fireworks will also be celebrating our 2nd victory. Good Luck!
