The first meeting of 2011 for the LA Galaxy and the expansion Portland Timbers, ended with a solid win for the home side Galaxy.

After a disappointing 4-1 result last week to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium, the high point was a 1-0 home win against Philadelphia at The HDC Saturday night.

Michael Bradley nearly tied it for the US late in the match, shooting for the top left corner from outside the penalty area. But goalkeeper Justo Villar just deflected the ball with the fingertips of his right hand. Villar made another save on the final play in second-half injury time.

Donovan stressed the importance of being with his teammates from the get-go this year as the Galaxy look for redemption after falling just shy of an MLS championship the past two seasons.
