LOS ANGELES, California -- David Beckham was shown a yellow card as the Los Angeles Galaxy went down 2-1 to the New York Red Bulls, Juan Pablo Angel scoring the winner with his first goal of the new MLS season.
Angel was the MLS leading scorer last season with 19 goals.
The former Aston Villa striker, who was the league's leading scorer last season with 19, took a pass from Dane Richards and fired past Galaxy keeper Steve Cronin with 12 minutes left.
Galaxy had equalized a minute earlier through Alan Gordon.
South African Danleigh Borman had opened the scoring in the 21st minute, his first professional goal putting New York 1-0 up.
Borman's goal came from a rebound, after Red Bulls' teenage star Jozy Altidore had a shot blocked by Cronin.
The Red Bulls blotted out Galaxy forward Landon Donovan,but defender Kevin Goldthwaite was booked in the 75th minute after bringing Donovan down from behind.
Beckham's free kick into the penalty area, was cleared by Luke Sassano and another Beckham kick in the 60th minute was punched away by Red Bulls keeper Jon Conway.
Beckham's 67th booking was for a challenge on Dave van den Bergh - the yellow card provoking a storm of boos from the crowd at the Home Depot Center.
