Reuters reports that international football (soccer) star David Beckham has scored his first goal for the Los Angeles Galaxy. The goal was made from a free kick.
David Beckham scored his first goal for Los Angeles Galaxy in their SuperLiga semi-final against D.C. United on Wednesday, striking with a free kick in the 27th minute.
The 32-year-old midfielder, wearing the captain's armband in his first start for the Major League Soccer (MLS) club, curved one of his trademark strikes into the top left corner of the net from 25 meters, leaving goalkeeper Troy Perkins stranded.
Beckham, hampered by an injured left ankle for the last two months, had made only two fleeting appearances for the Galaxy since joining them last month.
In the Reuters photo Beckham is sticking out his tongue like Michael Jordan sometimes used to do. He does wear Jordan's number #23. Beckham stats can be found here.
