And Then There Were Four

The first round of the 2009 MLS Cup playoffs concluded Sunday with the LA Galaxy scraping past their cross-hallway rivals Chivas USA by the narrowest possible margin, setting the stage for next weekend’s Conference Finals.
The Galaxy won their series by a single goal, courtesy of a successful Landon Donovan penalty kick in the 73rd minute of the Galaxy home leg. The 1-0 scoreline in the second leg was a complete reversal compared to the relative goalfest (a sloppy 2-2 draw) that was the Goats’ home leg a week previous.
