Final: San Jose Earthquakes at Galaxy
Galaxy 2 San Jose Earthquakes 0
The Galaxy have held on for the win, but Seattle came back from a one-goal deficit to beat Dallas tonight.
The Galaxy are in the playoffs for the first time in four years.
What does that mean in terms of a playoff opponent?
The Galaxy will play the loser in Sunday's noon game between Chivas and Houston in the opening round of the playoffs; if the game is tied they will play Chivas USA.
And that means, in turn, the Galaxy's home playoff game will be 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8 on ESPN2.
Got that?
BTW, the Galaxy (wearing really ugly gold T-shirts) just saluted the Angel City Brigade.
The Galaxy just gave out their team awards: Landon Donovan won MVP and goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts Defender of the Year.
More later.
