Phil Collin filed the game story headlined by the triumphant Landon Donovan who yet again demonstrated a flair for the dramatic in his timing and performance.
Notable: Donovan scored 104 of his 136 regular season goals for the Galaxy, the remainder for the Earthquakes. He now has 120 regular season MLS assists, including 91 as a member of the Galaxy. Donovan tied Cobi Jones (91 assists) for the most assists in club history and is now 16 behind Steve Ralston for the most in MLS history.
Quotable:
“Candidly, I’m exhausted. I won’t lie. I took a long nap today. I’m exhausted. I’m glad today’s done. I’m glad the record is done. My goal now and my challenge is don’t stop playing now. We aren’t even half way through the season. We’ve won a couple games. And now, we have two more games until the World Cup game. We feel should win both and we need to win both. That is our focus now. It’s going to be difficult. Chicago is a much improved team than their first couple of games. The Chivas game will be difficult. That’s my goal—to help us win those two games.”
The Galaxy play in Chicago Sunday against the Fire before returning home to face Chivas USA the following Sunday.
