SAN JOSE, Calif. — It was billed as a homecoming for Landon Donovan, and the former San Jose Earthquakes forward delivered. Donovan, making his first start two months after coming out of retirement, scored the lone goal for Club Leon in a 1-0 victory in an international friendly in front of 14,532 at Avaya Stadium.
“It’s pretty instinctive,” Donovan said. “I just turned and hit it, and I wasn’t exactly sure where I was on the field, but when you shoot, good things happen. It felt good to score, it felt good to contribute, and it was a good night for us.
