MLS Playoffs: VIDEO: Beckham Revels In His First Playoff Win
Watch video of David Beckham's reactions after his LA Galaxy advanced to the Western Conference final.
Nov 8, 2009 11:59:26 PM
David Beckham has yet to taste defeat in the Major League Soccer playoffs.
Against Chivas USA in the conference semifinals, the England international helped set up the series-deciding goal. The two Los Angeles-based clubs drew the first leg 2-2.
The second leg stayed goalless until midway through the second half. That's when the class of Beckham made the difference. The 34-year-old hit a swerving 50-yard cross-field ball into the path of the streaking Landon Donovan. The American attacker centered for Mike Magee, who took a leg to the groin as Galaxy won a penalty.
Donovan slotted the PK straight down the middle to give LA the win and a ticket to the Western Conference final.
Beckham rubbed it in by hitting another sweeping long ball a handful of minutes later. It proved his last touch of the ball, as a lower back knock forced him off in the waning minutes.
Watch below for Beckham's thoughts on the win and the playoffs.
