				<description><![CDATA[CARSON, California (Ticker) -- Landon Donovan has set a 
blistering pace in his zest to capture the Golden Boot.  
However, if he wants to keep his lead over the field in the MLS 
scoring race, he may need to be a bit more selfish.

Donovan scored two goals Saturday, but watched helplessly as the
Los Angeles Galaxy gave away two second-half leads before 
settling for a 3-3 tie with the Columbus Crew.

Donovan tallied in the fourth minute and Edson Buddle scored in 
the 47th minute to stake the Galaxy to a 2-0 lead.

Although Brad Evans and Robbie Rogers tied the game at 2-2 in 
the span of just four minutes midway through the second half, 
Donovan seemingly put the contest away with a penalty kick goal 
in the 83rd minute after Crew defender Danny O'Rourke tripped 
David Beckham just inside the box.

"Going down two goals and coming out with a tie is great," Evans
said.  "The guys never put there heads down and kept going.  
(Crew coach Sigi Schmid) always tells us that we are going to 
get our chances in the game and, tonight, we had a fair amount 
of chances.  My goal is to sniff out opportunities in front of 
goal and put them away."

But the Galaxy (6-4-3) were unable to notch their fifth win in 
six games as second-half substitute Steven Lenhart, who came on 
in the 76th minute, muscled his way inside the goalkeeper's box 
and beat keeper Steve Cronin for the tying goal in the 88th 
minute.

"It really feels like a loss - at this point - when we commanded
the game so long and went in front (by two goals)," Beckham 
said.  "We really need to learn how to finish games off.  Coming
in at halftime, we were disappointed.  If we can't finish off 
these games, it will spell trouble in the long run.  I had an 
opportunity at the end to put the game away and missed 
horribly."

With his MLS-best 11 goals, Donovan remains well ahead of the 
pack.  However, while he has missed three games this season - 
two due to his commitment with the United States national team, 
one because of injury - Buddle has become a point machine, 
scoring eight times in his last six games.

With nine goals, Buddle is Donovan's closest competition in the 
MLS scoring race as they rank 1-2.  With their 20 goals, the duo
has combined to score more goals than eight MLS teams and as 
many as three others.

Only New England and D.C. United, each of which have 21 goals, 
have scored more.

Cronin made just one save for Los Angeles while William Hesmer 
turned away four shots for Columbus (7-4-2).

"I'm proud of my team because we were able to come back, 
especially after being two goals down and the way we gave up the
goals the first one being so early in the game," Schmid said.  
"(The early goals were) pretty tough psychological blows to take
but we were able to come back and equalize the game."]]></description>
