Recap: Oct. 01, 2007
Troy Roberts and Kyle Martino scored in the first half and the Los Angeles Galaxy beat the Columbus Crew 2-1 Sunday. The Galaxy (7-13-6) overcame a goal in the second minute by Alejandro Moreno and improved its chances of making the MLS Cup playoffs despite a poor start to the season and a stretch of eight losses in nine games in August and September. The Crew are in the midst of a late-season collapse in which Columbus (7-10-10) has won once in nine games. Andy Herron ran the ball into the right corner of the field and sent a well-placed crossing pass to the edge of the six-yard box that Moreno headed past goalkeeper Joe Cannon to put the Crew on the scoreboard barely 100 seconds into the match. The Galaxy responded, taking advantage of Columbus ' inattentive defense in front of its own net by scoring two goals in three minutes to seal the victory. Los Angeles tied it 1-1 when Crew defender Frankie Hejduk failed to clear the ball from inside the six-yard box, allowing Roberts to poke a slow, rolling shot past Will Hesmer in the 13th minute. Three minutes later, Martino got space to take a pass from Landon Donovan and sent a shot through the legs of Ezra Hendrickson and into the goal. Martino, who played four seasons with the Crew, celebrated his third goal of the year by holding a finger to his lips to silence the sellout crowd. The Crew just missed tying the game in the 84th minute when Kei Kamara headed Eddie Gaven's corner kick off the crossbar. Kamara again nearly scored two minutes later but his right-footed shot was scooped up by Cannon. Columbus , with three games remaining, is on the brink of missing the playoffs for the third straight year. Two of the Crew's remaining matches are on the road against the league's best teams, D.C. United and the New England Revolution. Despite having only 27 points, the Galaxy are still alive in the playoff race thanks to a schedule that put most of their games at the end of the season to accommodate the arrival of David Beckham. The star midfielder is expected to miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury.

The Galaxy opened their stadium, the Home Depot Center on June 7. But in order for their home to be ready, the team had to play a record 8 games to start the season and failed to win a game. In fact, the Galaxy finish the season without a win away from home the whole season. After the season's final game, the Galaxy had the final playoff spot in the West. In their aggregate series with the Earthquakes, they seemed well on to vindication for the MLS Cup loss 2 years earlier as they held 4 goals to 0 lead midway through the 2 nd game. A thing happened as the Earthquakes scored four unanswered goals to force a tiebreaker. In that session, the Earthquakes' Rodrigo Farina score to send the Quakes onto the next round. In 2004 Looking to return to the top, the Galaxy would go through a mediocre 1 st half of the season before 3 straight wins over the summer. But from July 14 on, the Galaxy won only 2 more games, one in September and one in October. The Galaxy had a record of 11-9-10, good enough for 2nd in the West and the playoff, remaining the only club in MLS to have a playoff spot in every year of league in the playoffs, the Galaxy withstood an early challenge from the Rapids to win the aggregate goal series, 2-1, scoring 2 times in Game 2. In the conference final, the Galaxy's season would come to an end in Kansas with a 2-0 loss to Arnaud and the Wizards. |
