				<description><![CDATA[CARSON, California (Ticker) -- Brandon McDonald and Edson Buddle
each scored and the Los Angeles Galaxy benefited from an own 
goal to notch a 3-2 triumph over the Colorado Rapids on Sunday.

Josh Saunders stopped four shots for Los Angeles (8-12-8), which
avoided being eliminated from postseason contention with the 
victory.

"We live for another day," Los Angeles coach Bruce Arena said.

Tom McManus converted a penalty kick and Cory Gibbs  tallied for
Colorado (10-14-4), which remains two points behind Real Salt 
Lake (9-10-9) for third place in the Western Conference.

The Galaxy got a gift in the 70th minute from Ugo Ihemelu, who 
accidentally knocked in a free kick, giving the Galaxy a 2-1 
lead. McDonald extended the advantage to 3-1 in the 80th minute 
after drilling a shot from 45 yards which sailed into the right 
corner of the net.

"I practice taking longer shots," McDonald said.  "I turned and 
looked and they weren't closing me down.  Someone took a step 
closer to me, so I took another touch and I had the space, so I 
took the shot.  I've scored a few of those in practice.  It's my
first career MLS goal, so I'm pretty happy about it.

"I'll shoot from anywhere.  My grandma always told me to shoot 
from the half-way line."

Colorado tried to rally late as McManus drilled a penalty kick 
into the left side to make it 3-2, but it was too little, too 
late.

The Galaxy, who were playing without star midfielder David 
Beckham (international duty), took a 1-0 lead in the 36th 
minute. Buddle took a feed from Sean Franklin on the right side 
of the box and chipped it into the right side.

But Colorado netted the equalizer just eight minutes later as 
Terry Cooke sent a corner kick from the left side and Gibbs' 
diving header found the right side of the net.

"I felt for the first 15 minutes we were thoroughly beaten all 
over the field," Arena said.

"We fought back and got that goal.  I felt we made a few 
mistakes in giving up their first goal from the corner.  I felt 
that we started the second half much better and especially when 
Landon Donovan came on, he showed his leadership on this team 
and that was great."]]></description>
