Jonathan Bond had his first experience in front of a larger audience in Southern California Saturday, as he started in goal for the LA Galaxy in their preseason game against the New England Revolution, a 1-0 win for LA that was aired on local TV.
That win came courtesy of a Jonathan Perez goal in the first half, but at least as much through the exploits of Bond, who made several saves to keep the Revs — playing a stronger starting XI than the Galaxy — off the scoreboard.
Bond’s performance, lasting about an hour, drew many of the headlines from the game.
