Well, readers. That…was a close one. Although Felipe Martins spared the home fans blushes, it was the backline and swarming play that preserved a 1-1 draw for Bruce Arena’s Los Angeles Galaxy against Jesse Marsch’s New York Red Bulls. If there is just one thing to take from this game…it’s that the oracle was right: Bradford Jamieson IV did open up his career scoring account in MLS against the New York Red Bulls. That’s his first, and there’s plenty more to come. Wait…and watch.

“Obviously it was a great goal,” said Arena to reporters. “He’s still a young kid, he had some good moments and some that weren’t so good but overall a real good performance by a good young player.

“He’s doing well. Let’s wait a while. Let’s not get crazy like everybody does every time a young player does something right. This is a long haul in becoming a player. He’s many years away from being where we would like him to be and where he’s going to be so let’s just be patient and see what happens down the road.”

“BJ I know from when I was with US Soccer,” said Marsch. “I would go with a lot of the youth national teams so I got to know a lot of these young guy. BJ was a young fringe player on the U-15 team that I worked with. I spent a lot of time with that team I like BJ a lot.

“He has a lot of personality, he comes to training with a lot of energy and I am happy for him that he got a goal, obviously I prefer not against us but I think he has a big career ahead of him and I am happy to see him be successful.”

“It was something that I watch Robbie do in practice where he uses that cut. It was second nature to me, I wasn’t thinking about it at all, I just knew that I was going to cut the defender,” Jamieson told LAGalaxy.com’s Adam Serrano on the goal. “And when I went for the shot, I just placed it to the far post.

“It’s a huge compliment to see that his play is impacting a guy like me. That’s the whole point of having young guys play with Robbie is so that you can benefit from playing from an experienced player like that. I hope that I can keep learning things that he can teach me.”

Could it possibly be that we will get to see Jamieson and Gyasi Zardes on the pitch on a constant basis!? Would make for the most interesting of scenarios. And when the chemistry is clicking, watch out.

“Going up against Zardes every day in practice, he’s a guy who wants to keep on improving and he wants to get better every single day, he’s committed to his craft and it’s hard going up against him in practice,” said defender Omar Gonzalez. “It’s hard because some days I’m tired and he wants to keep going and always wants to get more, always wants to keep shooting with the coaches, always wanting to improve his game.

“It’s great to see in a young guy like that and it’s a good sign for the future of the Galaxy, and if he keeps on working like that, it will be great for years to come.”
