Half Time: Galaxy-D.C. United

Bad defending by Sean Franklin forced Dema Kovalenko to bring down D.C. United’s Christian Gomez in the box just before half time. Gomez converted the spot kick.

This is not a classic by any means; until then Galaxy rookie Omar Gonzalez had perhaps gone closest for the home team with a header that went wide off a Landon Donovan corner.

Press box crowd estimates are 16,000-20,000 or about what Chivas USA drew last night. That’s perhaps the first time the Galaxy haven’t claimed a sell out for a home opener since their 2003 move to Home Depot Center.
