GALAXY SET RECORD WITH FIFTH MLS CUP CHAMPIONSHIP; ROBBIE KEANE SCORES GAME WINNER IN OT; LD GOES OUT A CHAMP; REVOLUTION 0-5 IN MLS CUP FINALS

At Carson, California:

Robbie Keane (the league's---and game's Most Valuable Player) scored the winning goal in the 111th minute on Sunday as the Los Angeles Galaxy won their record-breaking Major League Soccer Cup championship 2-1 in overtime over the visiting New England Revolution as Landon Donovan, in his final match as a professional, won a sixth MLS Cup title.  The Revs are now 0-5 in MLS Cup Finals, losing by one goal to the Galaxy---in overtime---for the third time.

Gyasi Zardes opened the scoring for Los Angeles in the 52nd minute, then Chris Tierney equalized for New England in the 79th as the regulation wound up deadlocked at 1-1.
