Three minutes into the second half, it arrived. Robbie Keane slid a perfect low pass that was so accurate and well-timed that Donovan couldn't miss, and he didn't. And the goal made history – it was Donovan's 135th regular-season goal in Major League Soccer to finally pass Jeff Cunningham on the all-time goal-scoring list.

In the context of the week, though, the goal meant so much more. Donovan sank to his knees immediately before being engulfed by his teammates, then the reserves and his coaches as he headed to the sideline, before being handed the ball to keep. For all the outrage and outpouring on social media when Donovan was among the last seven cuts from Klinsmann's 23-man squad, it was this very tangible show of affection from the staff and supporters of his club that meant most.

Never mind that this was a sleepy Sunday afternoon on a holiday weekend, and many of those that usually head for Galaxy games had other plans. Nor that this was a miserably poor Philadelphia side that has won twice in 14 games this season and eventually shipped a third goal to Keane and a fourth to Donovan late in the second half. Or that Klinsmann probably wasn't watching, or if he was, is unshakeable in the decision he made on Donovan.
