San Joses Beats LA 2-1 Qukes Still Number one in the West!!!!

MLSnet.com - News - 08/28/2005: "SAN JOSE -- Saturday's match between the Los Angeles Galaxy and the San Jose Earthquakes was a night for players to score against their former teams. Unfortunately for L.A., it was two of their former players who did more of the damage, condemning the visitors to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of their northern rivals.

Alejandro Moreno had put the Quakes in front with a header midway through the first half. But Quakes' old boy Landon Donovan then got a measure of revenge in the 38th minute, scoring a priceless equalizer, his first goal against his former club. It was then left to former Galaxy defender Danny Califf to have the last word, as he headed home the game winner in the 75th minute."
