CARSON, Calif. -- Juan Pablo Angel scored in the 78th minute to give the New York Red Bulls a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night.
Danleigh Borman added his first goal for the Red Bulls (3-1-2), who extended their unbeaten streak to four games. Alan Gordon scored for Los Angeles (2-3-2).
David Beckham received his first yellow card in the MLS in the 67th minute. He collided with New York's Dave van den Bergh after van den Bergh passed the ball. A cascade of boos followed the announcement. The yellow card was Beckham's first since the SuperLiga semifinal Aug. 15 against D.C. United.
Angel, who was the league's second-leading scorer last year with 19 goals, broke a 1-1 tie with his first goal this season. Dane Richards passed to Angel, who beat defender Troy Roberts and drew goalkeeper Steve Cronin out of the net. Angel then slotted an 8-yard shot into the open goal.
Angel scored one minute after Gordon had tied the game 1-1. Mike Randolph passed from the left wing to Gordon, who made a nifty move against two defenders and scored from 10 yards inside the right post in the 77th minute.
Borman gave New York a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute. Angel headed Hunter Freeman's throw-in to Jozy Altidore, who took a 7-yard shot that Cronin dived to block with both hands. But Borman converted the rebound from eight yards.
Beckham had a chance to score in the 59th minute but Conway jumped to punch away Beckham's 40-yard free kick with both fists.
