Los Angeles Galaxy survived a late scare to get the better of Toronto FC 4-2 at home in their Major League Soccer clash on Saturday.

Bruce Arena's side took the lead at The Home Depot Centre as early as the 11th minute when Juninho scored from a direct free kick.

The home side doubled their advantage in the 33rd minute, Juninho once again finding the target, this time with a right-footed shot from outside the Toronto penalty box.

Robbie Keane made it 3-0 to Galaxy three minutes later with a left-footed shot from close range.

Toronto pulled one back in the 38th minute when Terry Dunfield nodded in Luis Silva's headed pass.

Galaxy had chances to increase their tally in the second half, but it was the visitors who added to the scoreline towards the closing stages of the match.

Luis Silva turned home Eric Avila's cross with his left foot from the left side of the box to set up a tense final minutes.

However, Keane struck in the second minute of injury time after being released by Landon Donovan to gather maximum points for Galaxy.
