MLS Playoffs: VIDEO: Bruce Arena Praises Losing Dynamo Team
Watch video of Bruce Arena after his LA Galaxy won the Western Conference final.
Nov 14, 2009 4:14:37 AM
You wouldn't think Bruce Arena had just watched his team come through a grueling Western Conference final and win a spot in the Major League Soccer Cup after two goals in extra time gave his side the win. Instead, he looked as composed as ever.
The former United States international coach showed a bit of class by praising his side's opponent on the night, the Houston Dynamo. The Texans even had the game-winner in the net late in the second half before Andrew Hainault's effort was called back for a phantom foul.
From that moment on, Arena's men pushed back and scored through two set pieces. Gregg Berhalter poked home the rebound from a David Beckham free kick and captain Landon Donovan scored a penalty to give LA a 2-0 win and prevent the match from going to penalties.
Watch Bruce Arena's reaction to the match below.
