http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Charlie-Davies-c8841’ late score ends DC United—Los Angeles Galaxy match in a stalemate
DC United player Charlie Davies continued his streak of goals in Saturday scrimmage against Los Angeles (LA) Galaxy and scored team’s lone goal to equalise the Major League Soccer week 4 match. Not in the starting eleven, his presence in the latter part
of the game proved decisive as the final score line read, 1—1.
As anticipated by MLS experts, LA held better part of the ball possession from the start. However, the player really caught fire when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 again proved his worth of being one of the best
designated players in the league.
So far, the English import has proved the true playmaker in the season and Saturday fixture was no different. It was only 12 minutes ticking on the clock, when hosts conceded a corner kick. Magee was in the box to receive the ball on his feet. Slightly tipping
the ball, Magee slotted it into the net to take the early lead.
This could have been the second for Galaxy, had Juninho knocked the back of the net in the starting minutes of the game. The player, however, forced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bill-Hamid-c7613 to parry the ball away, avoiding Brazilian’s third goal.
After the 12 minute score from the visitors, DCU struggled to pour into California-based defence; http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Omar-Gonzalez-c28565 along with Leonardo kept United’s offence at bay. The player recently recovered from an injury and it was his second MLS match.
While DCU was busy in attacking Galaxy’s guard, Magee launched from the middle of the park to double his team’s lead. However, Ethan White sprinted quickly to save US under-20 veteran’s try.
Where Davies did not start the game for DCU, Ben Olsen gave a nod to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Korb, White and Blake Brettschneider for the kick-off. However, Davies was brought in place of Brettschneider in 53rd minute of the game. The decision paid off in the final minutes
of the game.
Before Davies could equalise the score line, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Josh-Wolff-c19540 was gifted a chance. Davies provided the striker with a brilliant through pass but Wolff could only test Donovan Rickett, who came off the line to clear the ball to his right.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juan-Pablo-c19796 Angel in a needless and reckless tackle. Now the Black and Red were ten players in the field after Quaranta’s ejection. However, that did not make any difference for
the US international, who scored the goal very late in the day to save the game for his team.
Gonzalez, who proved an insurmountable wall the rest of the match, was one-on-one with Davies, who dribbled with the ball into the box. The next moment Davies was down with just a knick from the centre-back.
However the whistle was blown and Davies did not fail to convert the penalty kick. The 24-year-old chipped the ball into the middle, eluding Ricketts .
