The game ended 2-2, Eddie Lewis drawing a clumsy challenge from Dallas goalkeeper Dario Sala to win a penalty kick in the 79th minute.

Landon Donovan converted for his 20th goal of the year and finish the season as MLS' top scorer.

Edson Buddle could of and probably should of scored with a 83rd minute header that flashed wide.

Dallas played with 10 men from the 50th minute when Aaron Pitchkolan was sent off.

Greg Vanney made his final MLS appearance, but Coach Bruce Arena didn't bring him on until stoppage time (there's respect for you).

Becks gave Vanney - a Galaxy original in 1996 and former Bruin - the captain's arm band when he came on in a classy gesture.

Oh, and the Galaxy are still tied for last (on points) in MLS.
