The San Jose Earthquakes are MLS champions 2001 after a 2-1 overtime win over the Los Angeles Galaxy Sunday in Columbus, Ohio. Dwayne DeRosario, an 85th-minute substitute, scored San JoseÆs golden goal six minutes into overtime. After juking Los Angeles defender Danny Califf at the top of the penalty area, DeRosario curled a 17-yard shot that nicked the far post on its way into the goal. Los Angeles scored the gameÆs first goal, in the 21st minute. Luis Hernandez chased down a long through pass from Greg Vanney and hammered a volley past San Jose keeper Joe Cannon. Landon Donovan equalized the game in the 43rd minute on a superb one-touch strike from 15 yards, into the top corner of the net, following a low cross from Ian Russell.
