The match ended 2:1 after Gyasi Zardes put the home side on top with a superb strike in the 52nd minute, but Chris Tierney equalized for New England in the 79th minute to send the game into extra time. But league MVP Robbie Keane delivered the winning goal in the 111th minute to give L.A. its fifth MLS Cup.
Donovan appreciating La Galaxy fan by applauding and biding farewell to them. His arguably the best ever player America has produce, Playing 157 times for USA and scoring 57, but he didn't stop there by him setting up all time highest goal scorer record in the Major League Soccer scoring total number of 112 in 247 games for LA Galaxy.
He was unlucky not to add to his tally of goals when he nearly capped off his career in perfect fashion when he found himself in front of goal in the 68th minute only to shoot weakly at Shuttleworth. But in the end, it didn't matter because Robbie Keane delivered what was need.
At the final whistle, Donovan's joy! and that of the Galaxy was evident, as he was mobbed by his teammates. It proved to be a fitting ending for arguably the greatest U.S. player.
