Los Angeles 3-1 Kansas City
By: travis | May 25th, 2008Another lead squandered. Thanks to the game being on HDNet week, I couldn’t catch any of it save for the highlights on MLSnet. And from what I could gather, it was a wild and entertaining match that saw KC once again find the net first. After a fine stop by Hartman off Donovan in the 8th minute, KC took the lead in the 40th, as Claudio Lopez played a one-two with Sasha Victorine, dummied past a Galaxy defender and fired a bullet past Steve Cronin. It was a nice goal, and a relief to see El Piojo find the net once again. From everything I’ve read the Wizards dominated the first half while the Galaxy then took over in the second half. I really hate commenting and writing about games that I have no chance to see. I’ll shake my fist at you HDnet!
The second half was all Galaxy, as goals from Buddle, Donovan, and Beckham took advantage of defensive blunders. First, Tyson Wahl tripped up Landycakes in the box, and he calmly netted the equalizer after completing his long pre-PK routine. The second goal was reminiscent of last week. Things got mixed up in the middle, leaving Edson Buddle wide open down the left to tuck it in past Hartman. The last goal will probably seen again and again, as Beckham knocked it in from about 70 yards after Hartman had come up for a corner kick in stoppage time. Bad luck, and the final scoreline might as well read 2-1.
From a KC perspective, the return home to the CAB can’t come soon enough. Only one game remains, and that is against Real Salt Lake, a team that is struggling away from home. Unfortunately, that game will be at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Utah, and the sixth game in a row on the road for KC. More thoughts on the game and what’s been bothering the Wizards tomorrow.

I hate Donovan with a fiery passion. He is a bitch.

FYI, the Galaxy’s second goal was offsides. Even the commentators caught that one. Unfortunately the AR didn’t. Another bad luck blow to the Wizards.
