SuperLiga: Galaxy win, Dallas draw

In the opening night of North America's inaugural SuperLIga tournament, Landon Donovan reminded Galaxy fans of his star power, picking up an assist and the game-winning goal against CONCACAF Champions Cup champions Pachuca in a 2-1 win, while FC Dallas could only manage a 1-1 draw against CD Guadalajara.

In the kick-off match, FC Dallas and CD Guadalajara split the points after Chivas' Antonio Olvera equalized an Arturo Alvarez goal in the 56th minute. In the first half both keepers were tested and both proved up to the task, with FC Dallas back-up keeper Ray Burse pulling off two spectacle saves. In the second half, Carlos Ruiz placed a beautiful through ball onto the foot of Alvarez who beat the keeper easily one-v-one. Olvera's equalizer was an absolute screamer into the left, upper-90, completely unsaveable.

In the nightcap match, a Beckham-less Galaxy managed a result against the CCC champs, thanks to some superb goalkeeping in the first half by Joe Cannon and some expert work by Landon Donovan who looked in danger of being swept away by Beckham mania. Alan Gordon opened the scoring in 50th minute off a Donovan assist. Pachuca evened things 28 minutes later off a afael Marquez Lugo goal, before Donovan's slight redirection of a Cobi Jones pass put the Galaxy ahead for good in the 81st minute.
