Landon Donovan's goal in the 70th minute Wednesday gave the Major League Soccer AllStars a 2-1 victory over German champions Bayern

Munich in a friendly marred by rough tackles.

The Los AngeleS Galaxy striker took a high centering pass on the run up the middle of the field, eluded two defenders and netted the deciding goal.

"Any time you can beat Bayern Munich, that's a good beat," Donovan said. "We came out and played them hard and that was an entertaining game for sure."

The Bundesliga side opened the scoring on an eighth-minute strike from Robert Lewandowski, who tucked a right-footed blast just under the crossbar.

English striker Bradley Wright-Phillips of the New York Red Bulls, a former Southampton and Manchester City forward, answered for the MLS squad in the 51st minute, powering a left-footed kick from just outside the penalty area into the net.

Wright-Phillips is the younger brother of England international Shaun Wright-Phillips of England's Queens Park Rangers and the son of former England and Arsenal standout Ian Wright.

But after watching a pair of tackles from behind in the late minutes by MLS players in the heart of their season against Bayern players who were in the first stages of preseason training, Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola decided to wave off a postmatch handshake with MLS All-Stars coach

Caleb Porter.

The Spaniard gave Caleb Porter a onefingered wave-off, apparently angry at some of the tackles by the MLS players.

Guardiola offered the refereeing panel a token handshake and quickly disappeared into the tunnel.

The acrimonious ending overshadowed a brilliant first half goal by Polish striker Robert Lewandowski that gave Bayern the lead.

Lewandowski, who moved to the Bundesliga champions from Borussia Dortmond in the close season, struck a piledriver from just outside the box into the roof of the net that beat MLS keeper Nick Rimando with sheer pace.

Most of the Bayern first-team regulars started on the bench in the team's sixth preseason game.

In the 79th minute, four of Germany's World Cup-winning team - Bastian Schweinsteiger, Philipp Lamm, Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze - came on simultaneously in a mass substitution, though Schweinsteiger left the game before the end after a challenge that may have prompted Guardiola's subsequent ire.

" I understand he doesn't want his players to get hurt. They're not great tackles but they're not the worst tackles I've ever seen and I hope Schweiny's not hurt," Donovan told ESPN.

“I'm not sure why they're going after the officials.”

In the 86th minute, Dutch star Arjen Robben came on as Bayern ended the game with almost a full-strength line-up, but the All-Stars held on to record the win.
