Wednesday, August 15th, 2007
David Beckham helped his new football team, the L.A. Galaxy win the first game in which he played. The Galaxy beat the D.C. United 2-0 with one goal scored by the British superstar player. His first appearance in the MLS was playing for the Galaxy in the SuperLiga semifinals. While there was a lot of speculation about how Beckham would do in his first American football performance his team and fans were more than pleased with the way things transpired.
Beckham scored during a free kick that took place within the first 30 minutes of the game. He also had a hand in the second goal, passing to Landon Donovan, who scored, and receiving an assist for his efforts. This was scored a little over a quarter of an hour into the game making the score 2-0 and sealing the win for the Galaxy.
