A record-breaking crowd comes in to see LA's David Beckham, and leaves seeing a thriller. Juan Pablo Angel's free kick opens the scoring early on, but the Galaxy quickly goes up 2:1. Just before halftime, Clint Mathis' rocket ties the game and gives him a Metro record of 45 goals in all competitions. Jozy Altidore undresses the LA defense twice to make it 4:2, but the Galaxy reply to make it level once again. Then, in the 88th, a long shot by Mathis is saved, but Angel knocks home the rebound for the victory.
