Odd Grenland 1, Galaxy 0
Monday February 24, 2003
CARTAGENA, Spain (AP) Alexander Aas headed in Edwin Van
Ankeren's free kick in the 25th minute Monday as Odd Grenland of
Norway defeated the MLS champion Los Angeles Galaxy 1-0 in La Manga
Cup 2003.
Odd Grenland, 2-0-1 for seven points in Group B, will face Group
A winner Rosenborg, also from Norway, in Friday's championship
match.
The Galaxy, 2-1-0 for six points, will play in Friday's
third-place game against Norway's Viking Stavanger, the
second-place finisher in Group A.
``I think that the opponent was well prepared and played with
great desire,'' Galaxy coach Sigi Schmid said. ``Our goal in
preseason is to look at players, prepare and win. Today, we forgot
the last part.''
San Jose, the other MLS team in the eight-team tournament, lost
to Stavangar Viking 3-1 Monday to finish last in four-team Group A
with an 0-2-1 record.
