106′ – The second half of extra time begins.
107′ – Alan Gordon is offsides. Galaxy are pressing for the second, but New England will be looking to counter.
108′ – That looks like a handball right there. It’s outside the box so no penalty.
109′ – Wide. Wide right. A sigh of relief for Revs fans, who chant “Thank you Landon” sarcastically.
110′ – Man down for the Revs. Kelyn Rowe, it looks like.
111′ – GOAL! New England Revolution 7 Robbie Keane
The King of Ireland has scored.
112′ – But now, a question, are they chanting “MVP” or “MV-Keane”?
113′ – Now a number of cards have been issued here; we’ll get to those at the tail end of this live blog.
114′ – Well, the onus is on New England to do something.
115′ – There is still time for the Revolution to get a second equalizer but they need to hurry.
116′ – Point-blank save by Jaime Penedo. He doesn’t want to give up another one.
117′ – That wasn’t reeled in right by Zardes. Another stop for Jimmy P.
118′ – Andrew Farrell should have done better. Wide right.
119′ – A break, but LA are forced to retreat.
120′ – We’re now in the final minute of extra time. Do the Revs have one last special something in them? Three minutes.
120′ + 1′ – The Galaxy are buckling down here. Thery don’t want to give up an equalizer.
120′ + 2′ – Corner, New England. Cleared.
120′ + 3′ – Last chance saloon for the Revs and Jaime Penedo is hurt. And a shove. frustration, as Dan Gargan tells the Angel City Brigade, “You know what you need to do here.”
120′ + 4′ – Wonder if thsat will induce a suspension. That’s it.
FINAL
Los Angeles Galaxy 2
New England Revolution 1
