Galaxy Win MLS Cup

In front of a record crowd at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California the homeside Los Angeles Galaxy did not disappoint. Behind a 72nd minute Landon Donovan goal, the Galaxy win the 2011 MLS Cup 1-0 over the Houston Dynamo and their third championship in franchise history. The win caps off an amazing season for LA, which won the Supporters' Shield with a league-high 67 points in the regular season. It also finally gives DP David Beckham the championship ring that had been eluding him throughout his five year contract with LA.

For the Dynamo, playing without team MVP Brad Davis, who was out due to a quad tear, holding and keeping possession of the ball against the talented Galaxy was an issue all night long. Without Davis' service and dribbling ability, the Dynamo never really looked dangerous, and a great playoff run comes to an end one win short of the title.
