LA Galaxy celebrated their victory tonight against hometown rivals Chivas USA. In a packed and wild Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. Landon Donovan put a penalty kick in the back of the net to secure the win. This victory sends the LA Galaxy to the West Conference Championship (first time since 2005) where they will play the Houston Dynamo. The stage is set for this Friday, November 13 at Home Depot Center. If the Galaxy clinch the victory they will go on to play in the MLS Championship.

The Galaxy vs Chivas USA match was filled with aggressive play, killer goalkeeper saves, endless yellow cards, emotional brawls and of course the chant of thousands of fans. Not just any fans but crowds who were enemies yet share the same home stadium. Superstar David Beckham was a prominent figure in the match and will miss a national game with his native England to compete in the MLS playoffs. A full photo story of the game will be posted here, but you can check out video highlights of the action. You can also find photos of the West Coast Conference final here on Friday, November 13. Hopefully the spook and bad luck of FRIDAY the 13th will fall onto Houston and AEG's Los Angeles Galaxy will come out on top.
