The Los Angeles Galaxy has won their second consecutive MLS Cup title, defeating the Houston Dynamo by a total score of 3-1. Dynamo striker Calen Carr scored a goal in the 44th minute to boost the Dynamo to a 1-0 half time lead. But the Galaxy never surrendered. Defender Omar Gonzales scored on a header in the 61st minute to tie the score. Captain Landon Donovan then scored on a penalty kick for the game winner. Donovan also scored the game winner last year in Carson, and joined Jeff Agoos and Brian Mullen as the only players to win 5 MLS Cups in their careers. Robbie Keane also added a goal for his league-leading sixth of the playoffs. Landon Donovan was the game's MVP.

Founded in 2005, the Houston Dynamo soccer team has come a long way in a sport tragically ignored in America. The Dynamo first beat Chicago in the Eastern League knockout round, then downed the powerhouse Kansas City Sporting in the semi-finals, both by scores of 2-1. And now they hold a 3-1 lead over D.C. in the Eastern League championship, before they can advance to the MLS Cup finals. Houston won the cup in back-to-back years in 2006 and 2007. Perhaps they can add another championship to their dynasty-in-the-making? Stay tuned to the MLS play offs and LetsGoSports to find out! Their determination game will be played on Sunday, Nov. 18. The winner will face either the popular Seattle Sounders or Los Angeles Galaxy for the MLS Cup championship.

The Los Angeles Galaxy and the San Jose Earthquakes both had good seasons this year, and a great competition between the both of them. But this week, in the MLS playoffs, the Galaxy's defense, led by defender Todd Dunivant, held off the San Jose Earthquakes for a 3-1 win to advance to the Western Conference finals. They now will go on to face either The Real Salt Lake or Seattle. Twice this season the Galaxy led the Earthquakes in the final 20 minutes of the game, giving up last minute goals once to let San Jose win, another to settle for a tie. This time, however, the Galaxy held on for the win, at the most vital time in the two-game series.
