Carson, Calif. -- Following an imperative midweek victory greater than the Montreal Impact, the Los Angeles Galaxy faced an equally imperative game by the side of the home-based Sunday aligned with San Jose. Unlike the game aligned with Montreal, LA had stars Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane, Omar Gonzalez, and Jaime Penedo back on the deal with.  A.J. DeLaGarza and Robbie Rogers plus made their way back into the 18.

The at the outset ten minutes of the game had both teams on the stage unkind cover and difficult to keep up possession of the sphere. Modish the 15th tiny, San Jose almost scored the game’s at the outset goal with a heading from Sam Cronin on a free-kick. The attempt was eclectic of the far position.

Robbie Keane had the at the outset scoring opportunity in support of LA in the 19th tiny, but his shot from inside the 18-yard box was aimed unequivocally by the side of Jon Busch.  Keane was involved again in the 21st tiny whilst he got away from San Jose’s Cronin with the sphere and Cronin held on top of Keane’s pullover, earning him a yellow certificate from head judge Baldomero Toledo.

Modish the 24th tiny, the Galaxy's recruit sensation, Gyasi Zardes, traveled partially the deal with with the sphere beforehand getting a cantankerous around two Earthquake defenders. Shades cantankerous was precisely inches greater than the head of Donovan.

However, San Jose was threatened as well in the 27th tiny whilst a corner-kick found the head of Steven Lenhart. Lenhart, who is not well liked by Galaxy players and fans in support of his lurking about greater than the years, headed the sphere accurately, but Penedo was able to turn into a diving save.

Modish the 36th tiny, Keane and Donovan hard-pressed the sphere towards goal, allowing Michael Stephens a solid opening to cut, but his shot went from top to toe beyond the top corner.

Penedo and the Galaxy cover proved disparaging again in the 41st tiny whilst a Chris Wondolowski heading and recover were saved.

Both teams on track the succeeding partially with a flurry of end-to-end charge, counting conqueror Bernardez's shoving foul on Landon Donovan in the 54th tiny so as to earn Bernardez a yellow certificate. The Galaxy possibly will not create a scoring menace from the free-kick.

San Jose looked ready to cut in the 63rd tiny whilst they had a pair of shots on a ruined fool around, but Penedo was ultimately able to secure the sphere and progress the Galaxy heartrending up the pitch.

Modish the 68th tiny, Robbie Rogers substituted in in support of Michael Stephens, his at the outset growth since on stage in Portland in July. Also, Omar Gonzalez subbed not worth it in the 73rd tiny as Leonardo took his smudge.

The final minutes of the game just about broke the scoring famine whilst the Earthquakes’ Shea Salinas had an opportunity on goal so as to the Galaxy cover snuffed not worth it. The sphere quickly stirred up the deal with, producing numerous LA shots from Keane, Juninho, and others. However, still nix cut.
With their last game lives in serious jeopardy, San Jose continued to attack in support of the goal so as to their desperately desirable. Although in support of each San Jose shot nearby was a Galaxy player getting in front of the sphere, leading to a final 0-0 copy.

The copy officially qualified the Galaxy in support of the 2013 MLS playoffs, their fifth consecutive last game trip up. LA is guaranteed of dying nix let down than fifth in the Western Conference, and is looking to befall the at the outset casino in MLS history to win three straight championships.
