Union v Galaxy in pictures

Posted by on May 12, 2011 at 2:50 pm

PSP photographer Nicolae Stoian was on hand for Wednesday night’s come-from-behind draw with LA Galaxy. Here’s a look at what he saw.

Califf tracks
Keon looks for a target
Nakazawa closing down
Ruiz tries to make something happen…
…Le Toux does the same
Not one of the better moments
Thou shall not pass this line
Traffic
Valdes draws a bead
Donovan going down. Again.
As innocent as a new born babe…
…No foul.
Making it happen
Rounding the keeper
Jubilation
Yellow card, smellow card, as long as the goal stands
The Dragon comes up big
Williams clears
Exit the warrior

    Thanks for the pics. I was having a crappy day and these helped bring back the excitement I felt at PPL last night.
