Los Angeles Galaxy have come from behind to defeat Colorado Rapids 3-1 in their MLS clash.
The Rapids took the lead in the 12th minute when Marcelo Sarvas pounced on a loose ball and drove into the penalty area to guide the ball past Donovan Ricketts.
Los Angeles came close to getting back into the game when Alan Gordon had an effort blocked inside the box, and Robbie Keane sent the rebound over the crossbar.
Colorado threatened before the break when Kevin Doyle lofted the ball towards the near post, and Jared Watts dived to head at goal, only to see his effort hit the side-netting.
In the second half, the Galaxy equalised through Sebastian Lletget after he received the ball down the left and cut inside on to his right foot to bend his shot beyond Clint Irwin.
Irwin kept the scores level when he produced a fine reaction save to keep Keane's effort out from close range after the forward had collected a through ball from Gordon.
However, the Galaxy did take the lead one minute later when Keane fired at goal from inside the box, and although Irwin saved the strike, Gordon pounced on the rebound to slot it into the net.
Colorado pressed to get back into the match when Juan Ramirez exchanged passes with Nick LaBrocca, but his effort was well saved by Ricketts.
The visitors secured their win in stoppage as they hit the Rapids on the counter and Keane slotted the ball home from close range.
