England midfielder David Beckham scored his first goal in Major League Soccer play on Thursday and contributed to another as the Los Angeles Galaxy defeated the San Jose Earthquakes 2-0.
He had scored once before for the Galaxy, on a direct free kick last August 15 against MLS rivals DC United in the SuperLiga tournament featuring MLS and Mexican clubs.
Landon Donovan also scored for the Galaxy, as they spoiled the Earthquakes' return to the US league after a two-year absence.
Since then the San Jose franchise had been moved to Houston and rechristened the Dynamo, leaving the California city without a club until the creation of the new Quakes.
Galaxy stars Beckham and Donovan made sure San Jose's return to the league was not a winning one.
The English superstar collected a pass from Donovan outside the penalty area and slipped the ball past goalkeeper Joe Cannon to open the scoring in the eighth minute.
Beckham returned the favor for Donovan in the 37th minute, flicking the ball with his right foot to his hard-charging teammate.
Donovan lofted a shot over a rapidly-closing Cannon to put the Galaxy up 2-0.
