Donovan's late goal helps Galaxy tie Earthquakes
Soccer Betting Lines
07/23/2010 -
Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Landon Donovan scored in the 90th minute and the
Los Angeles Galaxy remained unbeaten at home in Major League Soccer with a 2-2
draw Thursday night against the San Jose Earthquakes at The Home Depot Center.
Edson Buddle scored his 12th goal of the year, also in the second half, as the
Galaxy (12-2-4) erased two deficits to extend their season-long home unbeaten
streak to eight games.
Bobby Convey scored his first goal of the year just two minutes into the match
and cleared a Buddle shot off the line and Brandon McDonald added his first of
the year as San Jose (6-4-5) earned its sixth result in eight road matches.
San Jose got off to a dream start when Convey fired home a rebound inside two
minutes. Cornell Glen had the initial chance deflected by L.A. goalie Donovan
Ricketts, but Convey ran onto the loose ball on the left side of the area and
slotted the rebound home.
Convey, who is second in MLS with eight assists, was added to the MLS All-Star
roster earlier Thursday by L.A. coach Bruce Arena.
Buddle had three chances before half to level, but fired wide left in the 23rd
and wide right in the 41st before heading high in first-half stoppage time.
L.A. trailed at halftime for the first time in 17 games this season, but coach
Bruce Arena sparked the club at halftime and Buddle equalized 14 minutes into
the second half.
Dema Kovalenko had a shot pushed over the crossbar by San Jose goalkeeper Jon
Busch in the 48th and Buddle followed with a header that was cleared off the
line by Convey in the 49th before L.A. finally equalized.
Donovan helped set up the goal for his MLS-high 11th assist by dropping a pass
off to the left to Todd Dunivant, who made an overlapping run. Dunivant rolled
a low cross through the six-yard box to Buddle, who had an easy finish into an
empty net at the right post in the 59th.
Juninho had his free kick pushed over the bar by Busch in the 70th, as L.A.'s
second-half momentum slowed after the tying goal.
San Jose capitalized in the final 20 minutes when McDonald fired home a loose
ball from inside the six-yard box. Convey played a corner kick from the right
and, after Ike Opara's initial shot was deflected by Ricketts, McDonald tapped
in the rebound in the 72nd.
L.A. avoided its first home defeat of the season when Donovan scored from just
a few inches out in the 90th. Tristan Bowen's initial shot was mishandled by
Busch, who then got his hands on Buddle's rebound effort, but couldn't prevent
Donovan from sending the second rebound into the back of the net.
San Jose returns to MLS action July 31 when it hosts Seattle Sounders FC. L.A.
hosts the Chicago Fire on Aug. 1.

The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
