Tonight was the final of the new North American club championship called SuperLiga. It was one of the most exciting games I've been to in a long time. With $1 million dollars on the line, and the LA Galaxy's only real chance to win a trophy this year, the Galaxy played a horrible first half against Mexico's Pachuca. In the 16th minute, a Galaxy player deflected a ball into his own goal putting the Galaxy down 0-1. A few minutes later, David Beckham was taken out of the game for an injury that may keep him off the team for the rest of the season.
The Galaxy started playing better in the second half, but were unable to score until... in the final seconds of the game Chris Klein scored an amazing goal with a bicycle kick! The game went into overtime with noone scoring for the 30 minutes, so it was decided on penalty kicks. Landon Donovan had a chance to win the game on the Galaxy's 5th penalty kick, but his poor shot was saved by Pachuca's keeper. Pachuca ended winning 4-3 on penalties.
