GALAXY @ FC DALLAS,
“Edson Buddle scored two goals in a four-goal burst in 15 minutes in the first half, then completed his hat trick with a late finale as the Los Angeles Galaxy routed FC Dallas 5-1 at Pizza Hut Park on Sunday afternoon.”
“Buddle scored in the 31st and 39th minutes, each goal following a Chris Klein and an own goal respectively, as the visiting Galaxy opened up a dominant lead before the opening 45 minutes was complete. Dominic Oduro headed one home to pull a goal back for FCD, but Buddle completed his hat trick just minutes after Adrian Serioux was sent off.”
“Almost from the kickoff, it was the visitors who dominated play. In the fifth minute, L.A. midfielder David Beckham dribbled up the right flank and spotted an open Buddle on the opposite side of the field. Beckham then sent a great cross toward his teammate and Buddle got a shot off only to see it go wide left.”

WIZARDS @ RED BULLS,
from MLSnet,
“The reaction to Danleigh Borman’s celebration of his first professional goal was mixed last weekend in Los Angeles. Surely, though, the New York Red Bulls thoroughly enjoyed the celebration for his second Saturday night because Borman’s spectacular strike was the late equalizer for the hosts in a 1-1 draw against the Kansas City Wizards at Giants Stadium.”
“After falling behind on Jimmy Conrad’s team-leading third goal of the season on 20 minutes, the Red Bulls rallied to tie the match on Borman’s second professional goal eight minutes from full time.”
