So Cal Style: Beckham's Saturday onslaught - two Galaxy goals
San Diego eXtreme Sports Coalition —
David Beckham showed how well he can rise to an occasion when needed by his team, on this Saturday night, at Real Salt Lake's Rice-Eccles Stadium. In front of the third-largest RSL crowd ever in that stadium, Becks answered two early Real goals with two blistering stirkes of his own. These were both textbook Beckham (you can watch them below). With this result, a 2-2 draw, LA is now 2-2-2 and remains strong in second place in the West. Beckham now has 3 goals and four assists so far in the season, as well as one MLS Player of the Week honor. Even though the weekend's matches are not yet completed, it is likely that he'll be a favorite for Player of the Week again, and a nominee for Goal of the Week as well - for the sixth round of Major League Soccer. ...

The first was virtually a set piece and the second was a set piece where a terribly out of position keeper gave up the goal.
