Update: Revs at Galaxy
Galaxy 1 Revolution 0
When you move - you score.
Alecko Eskandarian, making his Galaxy debut because of the pre-game injury to Alan Gordon, scored 7:52 into his career with his new club, side footing a Todd Dunivant long ball into the net from eight yards. Two Revs defenders inexplicably let Esky go and paid the price.
Edson Buddle was the last Galaxy player to score on his debut in June 2007.
