between the Los Angeles Galaxy and the San Jose Earthquakes was a night for players
to score against their former teams. Unfortunately for the Galaxy it was two of
their former players who did more of the damage, condemning the visitors to a 2-1
defeat at the hands of their northern rivals. Alejandro Moreno had put the Quakes in
front with a header midway through the first half. But Quakes' old boy Landon
Donovan then got a measure of revenge in the 38th minute, scoring a priceless
equalizer, his first goal against his former club. It was then left to former Galaxy
defender Danny Califf to have the last word, as he headed home the game winner in
the 75th minute. MAS GALAXY THIS AND EVERY WEDNESDAY: Más Galaxy, the club's Spanish-Language radio
talk show, will hit the air this week at 7 pm and will feature a look at both the
