Los Angeles Galaxy 3 – Real Salt Lake 1 (MLS Western Conference final, November 6, 2011) Landon Donovan converted a 23rd minute penalty to put LA ahead, but RSL pulled even less than two minutes later when Alvaro Saborio headed home a corner. Mike Magee scored the go-ahead goal from a Beckham cross in the 58th minute, and Robbie Keane added a killer third to advance the Galaxy to the MLS Cup final.
