The Two Robbies Help Galaxy Undress Timbers, End Portland's Four-Game MLS Winning Streak

At Carson, California:

Robbie Keane successfully converted a penalty kick in the 18th minute and assisted on goals from Robbie Rogers (33') and Juninho (72') as the Los Angeles Galaxy ended the Portland Timbers' four-game Major League Soccer winning streak (five in all competitions) with a 5-0 home demolition on Wednesday.

Sebastian Lletget (13') and Jose Villarreal (88') also scored once apiece for the Galaxy.

The Timbers, who were reduced to ten men after Liam Ridgewell was ejected via a red card in the 78th minute, will try to get themselves back together in time for Sunday's nationally-televised Cascadia Cup clash at home against the Seattle Sounders (who will be minus the injured Obafemi Martens and the suspended Clint Dempsey) at 4:00 PM Pacific Time (Fox Sports 1).
