The Los Angeles Galaxy started the season in first and will end the season in first.
The Galaxy clinched the Supporters Shield with a 2-1 victory over FC Dallas in front of 24,993 at the Home Depot Center. The victory helped the Galaxy finish three points clear of Real Salt Lake in the race for the Supporters Shield.
Atiba Harris opened the scoring for Dallas with a header past Donovan Ricketts in the 22nd minute off a splendid pass from Eric Alexander. With the dreams of the Shield slipping away, Landon Donovan provided the spark for the Galaxy.
After appearing to shove Jackson Gonclaves to the ground, Donovan delivered a pass to David Beckham, who fired the shot in from the top of the box to tie the score. The Galaxy took the lead just moments after the start of the second half when Juninho fired a howler from 18-yards out that beat Dario Sala.
The Galaxy will now take on the Seattle Sounders on October 31st at Qwest Field in Seattle. FC Dallas will host Real Salt Lake in their match on October 30th.
