The Galaxy come away with three points, defeating Mexican Champions Pachuca, 2-1. Donovan gets the game winner and no, Beckham didn't play. Most news outlets are saying LA 'stole' the game as both goals came against the run of play in a rather lackluster game.
The game of the night was the Chivas - FC Dallas matchup. The game looked like a game between bitter rivals. Dallas was unlucky to come away with only one point after their 1-1 tie. The game was end to end action, physical and intense. FC Dallas got on the board first with a nice chip by Alvarez. When looking at the highlight you'll notice Toja started this series and his run to the far post helped open things up a bit. Minutes later Chivas equalized after putting one in the net after a possible handball no-call. Watch the highlight video and remember how many times I have told you guys to play to the whistle. If FC Dallas' backline hadn't decided to become ARs there would not have been a goal. The intensity and physicality continued to escalate until Drew Moor received a red in the seventy second minute. Moor was retaliating foolishly to a high elbow. Dallas continued to attack and was unlucky not to put the game away. Ruiz went down in the box late, offering an opportunity for a make up call
that the referee decided not to use. Maybe if it hadn't been "El Piscadito".
Here are the highlights:
