Soccer:Robbie Keane converted a brace of penalties in real time in what could be David Beckham's final game in a Los Angeles Galaxy shirt as the US Major League Soccer champions won the Hyundai Club Challenge with a shoot-out victory over Melbourne Victory at Etihad Stadium.
Beckham, whose contract with the Galaxy expires later this month, played well as the game ended 2-2 after 90 minutes before the visitors edged it on penalties. The former England, Manchester United and Real Madrid star departed, having won the penalty which enabled the Galaxy to equalise early in the second half, a minute from time holding his right hamstring.
The Melbourne side took a 2-0 lead thanks to Carlos Hernandez on 15 minutes and Isaka Cernak 22 minutes later. But two penalties either side of half-time, both of which were contentious, saw Galaxy draw level with Keane flawless from the spot. The Republic of Ireland did miss a couple of further opportunities in the second half.
The match went to penalties and although Landon Donovan missed for the Californians, Paulo Retre and Marco Rojas followed suit to deny the hosts.
