Final: Galaxy at San Jose Earthquakes

Earthquakes 2 Galaxy 1

The Galaxy (2-3-9) took one shot on goal and scored. It was well-worked: a Mike Magee free kick was headed on by Alan Gordan and met by a ghosting Jovan Jirovski.

But Earthquakes goalkeeper Joe Cannon wasn’t forced into making a single save the rest of the way. And the Galaxy continue to generously give struggling opponents a boost. The Earthquakes move to 3-8-3.

Central defender Gregg Berhalter was to blame for the early first goal holding Pablo Campos to give up the PK.

Let’s recap: Former Pasadena City College star Yura Movsisyan completely turned Gregg Berhalter inside the penalty area last week to score Real Salt Lake’s first goal in their road win; Berhalter was sent off against the Wizards for holding Claudio Lopez just outside the box as the last man back; he was sent off in similar circumstances on his Galaxy debut against Chivas USA.

Anyone sense a pattern?
