Toronto FC came away with their first win of the season yesterday beating David Beckham and the LA Galaxy 3-2 in California. Toronto were outplayed by the Galaxy in the first half, and if it was not for some goalkeeping heroics by Greg Sutton, they could have been down 2-0 or 3-0. He stopped Landon Donovan on several good opportunities. Toronto took the lead when new signing Amado Guevaro sent a ball over the top that forward Danny Dichio volleyed into the net, but LA was quick to equalize. Less than a minute later, Donovan stepped around Marco Velez and fired home from outside the area. The second half brought with it more goals. First Toronto took the lead again after a blistering free kick from recent signing Laurent Robert could not be handled by LA keep Steve Cronin, and Jarrod Smith headed home the rebound. LA equalized from the penalty spot by Donovan again. Late in the match, with the score seemingly going to end a draw, Robert played another long ball to Jeff Cunningham, who sidestepped Greg Vanney of LA before firing home the goal that gave Toronto it's first win of the season.
