Even though the score said 'draw' Saturday night with a 2-2 final, the Galaxy's latest match (at home, against the Houston Dynamo) gave Landon Donovan and David Beckham many great opportunities to shine...and shine is what they did in working together on both goals scored by the team on the night.
Beckham got his second and third assists of the season on the two goals by Donovan, which were his foutrh and fifth. After four weeks of play, that places Landon alone as the top goal-scorer, and Beckham tied for first on assists. Beckham also scored a goal already this year, so the two have 5 of the total of six goals scored by the team so far.
As great as those two are doing, the Galaxy still have lost half of their games. Add in one draw and one loss, and this puts them in the bottom half of the Western Conference. However, the way they've been playing - getting better each week, and preparing for the return of Carlos Ruiz - it looks like they will be able to improve their record.
There are some great features on this: Oh, and did I mention? ...late Monday, Landon was named the MLS Player of the Week ! His first goal Saturday night is also one of the five nominees for Sierra Mist Goal of the Week.
