The closing minutes in the first half of Saturday's MLS game between the San Jose Earthquakes and the LA Galaxy were very interesting. As backup Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders was trying to clear the ball, San Jose's Steven Lenhart played cheap by headbutting the ball out of Saunders' hands. Lenhart paid for it with a yellow card...and an elbow to the face by Saunders once he got the ball back.
Saunders was given a red card for his play, forcing midfielder Mike Magee to play goalkeeper for the rest of the game. Fortunately for the Galaxy, the game ended in a scoreless tie.
