SuperClasico Final
Galaxy 1 Chivas USA 0
And that's the way it ended, a 10-man Chivas USA unable to come back against the Galaxy after Maykel Galindo's late straight red before an announced capacity crowd of 27,000.
Donovan should have made it two in stoppage time, but couldn't convert a neat little back pass from David Beckham with only Chivas USA goalkeeper Lance Parker to beat.
Key stats:
*The Galaxy have not conceded a goal in 306 minutes.
*The Galaxy have now scored 10 goals in the last 14 minutes of games.
The Galaxy close to within two points of Western Conference-leading Houston Dynamo, who play Colorado Sunday.
