Landon Donovan and David Beckham gave Los Angeles Galaxy fans plenty of reason to cheer, even though Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente defeated the Major League Soccer team 4-3 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie in an exhibition Wednesday night.
The Galaxy trailed 1-0 on a goal from Armando Pulido when Beckham sent a corner kick that was redirected by Omar Gonzalez past goalkeeper Adrian Zemeno in the 41st minute to tie the game. Donovan then gave Los Angeles a 2-1 lead in the 75th when he converted a pass from Chris Birchall.
The Mexican club rallied in the 82nd minute when Miguel Lopez converted a penalty kick, and the game eventually went to a shootout.
