The Galaxy, meanwhile, missing starters Landon Donovan (who scored earlier in the day for the U.S. in a 2-0 win against Canada), Tyrone Marshall and Guillermo Ramirez to the Gold Cup got their lone marker of the night against the run of play on a perfectly placed shot by Herculez Gomez from the extreme right of the box.
