Injuries don't stop Galaxy from beating Earthquakes, 3-1

Bruce Arena guessed it would take about two months to figure out what kind of team he had with his rebuilt Galaxy squad.

Three weeks into that timetable, he's still a long way from an answer. But he learned at least one thing Saturday in a 3-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes: This team is resilient.

The Galaxy coach used his third different lineup in three games — then watched for a third time as a starter limped off the field with a leg injury. But his team rallied to win on two second-half goals from Gyasi Zardes and a penalty-kick score from Robbie Keane before a sellout crowd of 25,667 at StubHub Center.
