CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy’s proud winning tradition began on an April evening in Pasadena thanks to the work of Arash Noamouz.
The Galaxy picked up their first victory in club history in the team’s inaugural contest in April 1996 when Noamouz provided the game-winning tally to give Los Angeles a 2-1 win over the New York / New Jersey MetroStars in front of nearly 70,000 fans at the Rose Bowl.
The tally was a beauty as Jorge Campos launched a long throw to the Iranian defender who sliced through the New York defense before launching a left-footed blast that beat Tony Meola for the game-winner.
