Stars combine for winner as Galaxy capture MLS Cup
CARSON, Calif. -- Landon Donovan scored in the 72nd minute on passes from Robbie Keane and David Beckham, and the Los Angeles Galaxy's three superstars won their first MLS Cup together with a 1-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Sunday night.
Beckham won his first Major League Soccer championship in the final game of his groundbreaking five-year contract with the Galaxy, who rolled to the franchise's third league title after finishing with the best regular-season record.
Beckham punctuated a solid performance in the MLS Cup with an alert header to Keane, the Irish striker who joined Los Angeles in midseason. Keane made a run and eventually fed Donovan, who struck home his record 20th MLS playoff goal.
