And so it was on Wednesday night as the Galaxy overcame a second-half penalty kick to score two goals late in the game, before being forced to settle for a 2-2 draw. Mike Randolph, in his second season with the club after not having played in a game in his first year, won a penalty kick that Landon Donovan...
