Toronto, lifted by a club record and second all-time tournament crowd of 47,653, shocked the Galaxy by getting a two goal lead before the match had hit the twenty minute mark, goals coming from Ryan Johnson and rookie Luis Silva only five minutes apart. The Galaxy, however, soon got back into the game thanks to a Mike Magee goal in the twenty ninth minute. They capped off the comeback in the dying moments of the match with goal by none other than Landon Donovan, who easily latched onto the ball after it had been loose in the box following a Beckham corner and knocking it home.
Seattle Sounders FC [2-1] Santos Laguna (Highlights)
The Sounders got out to a dream start at Century Link, they dominated the match early on, keeping Santos on the back pedal and ruling much of the run of play. That dominance quickly paid of, the Sounders striking first in the twelfth minute David Estrada heading a beautiful Fredy Montero cross past Santos keeper Oswaldo Sanchez. The Sounders couldn't quite maintain the domination they displayed early on in the match, Santos gaining purchase in match as the half drew to a close. Midway through the second half Santos took advantage of their increased authority in the match and leveled the terms, Hercules Gomez gathering the ball off of a Marc Crosas cross and deftly touching the ball past a reaching Michael Gspurning. The Sounders had an almost immediate response, however. Just two minutes later the Sounders earned a free kick in close proximity to the box, Mauro Rosales providing excellent service into the box and Brad Evans catching Sanchez off of his line and heading the ball home.
