Becks found the net (and perhaps even more miraculously, the pitch) in LA Galaxy’s victory over DC United in the SuperLiga. He scored a trademark free kick on 28 minutes, and also set up Landon Donovan for a second goal. Beckham, who was made captain for the game, lasted 63 minuted before being substituted. He said: “It was nice to get the early goal, but it was not just about my goal and Landon’s goal. I think it was a team performance that was exceptional, we worked hard as a team and played hard as a team and we won as a team. So it was more pleasing for the performance.”
