HOUSTON -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena speaks to reporters following the Galaxy's 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo.
On the outcome of the game: “We got the job done. There’s not much more to say about that. Not an easy day with the conditions and everything else. Certainly very challenging for both teams, to come out on top at this time of the season, when the points are important – it’s a great result for us.”
On Landon Donovan’s performance: “Landon had a solid game. We’re slowly building him forward with additional minutes. He gave us a good 60 minutes. It would have been nice to have some better conditions, but to be able to do that – to put in 60 minutes under those conditions was good.”
On Robbie Keane’s availability for the next game: “We will see, we have a week to see where he is at.”
On the play of the Dynamo: “They were [hard to break down]. You have to win these type of games and we haven’t won enough of them this year. That’s why we have 15 draws on our record. We killed ourselves at times this year by not being able to get a result on days like this. Give the Dynamo a lot of credit given that they’ve been eliminated from the playoffs – they still come out every game. I think it was last Saturday against Colorado – they gave them a hard game, I thought they could of gotten a result there. They obviously got a result in Seattle [on Wednesday] and fought to the closing minutes with us. So, I give [Houston Dynamo interim head coach] Wade [Barrett] a lot of credit for the job he’s done.”
