SuperGoalfest: LA edges Dallas 6-5

In a night where even the ball boy could have had a shot on goal, the Los Angeles Galaxy will advance to the semi-finals of the 2007 SuperLiga, after beating Dallas 6-5 in a match that certainly won't be used for teaching defensive clincs in the future.

After taking a 4-1 lead into halftime, Dallas pulled within one goal before each side exchanged goals twice in the final six minutes plus extra time.

For the Galaxy, Alan Gordon scored two and Landon Donovan, Carlos Pavon, Chris Klein and Kevin Harmse each scored one apiece. FC Dallas stormed back into the match on Arturo Alvarez's two goals, along with Juan Toja, Carlos Ruiz and Abe Thompson who each added one apiece. Both teams looked fatigued in the second half and each appeared ready for the whistle when it finally came.

Los Angeles advances as Group A winners and will face the Group B runners-up, after Pachuca defeated CD Guadalajara 1-0 on a Rafael Marquez Lugo goal in the second match of Group A to advance as runners-up.
