Eastern Conference leaders New England Revolution recorded a victory at Western leaders Los Angeles Galaxy as the title race hotted up.

David Beckham scored a goal for Los Angeles Galaxy but it wasn’t enough as two Adam Cristman goals won it for New England Revolution and earned the striker the Man of the Match award.

0 - 1 Adam Cristman (33 minutes)

A header from Shalrie Jospeh was only parried by Galaxy goalkeeper Steve Cronin and Cristman tucked away the loose ball from close range.

0 - 2 Adam Cristman (37 minutes)

Cristman scored his second four minutes later when he thundered in a header from a Steve Ralston corner.

1 - 2 David Beckham (66 minutes)

A loose ball was not headed away cleanly by defender Joseph and Beckham half volleyed in from just inside the penalty area.
