Beckham tees up Galaxy winner

Miguel Lopez head in a David Beckham pass to give the Major League Soccer-leading Los Angeles Galaxy a 1-0 win at the New England Revolution on Saturday.

Beckham's 69th minute pass from 40 yards out on the right flank set up Lopez for his first goal of the season. Lopez flicked a header from just inside the penalty box to the far left corner, past goalkeeper Matt Reis.

Los Angeles, which didn't allow a single New England shot on goal, extended its winning streak to four games and has not conceded a goal in 321 minutes of play.

New England has failed to score in five of their 12 games this season, disappointing a season-best crowd.
