Galaxy’s very own David Beckham scored his first Major League Soccer goal of the season, in a 2-0 victory against the San Jose Earthquakes, after a full 90 minutes run for the English player. Thursday night wasn’t a very pleasant one for the Quakes, as their long time awaited debut following more than 2 long unlucky years wasn’t what they would have wanted.

It wasn’t the Quakes’ victory to take, as Beckham waited nine “long” minutes before defeating goalkeeper Joe Cannon and scoring the first goal of the match. “It’s a bit of a reality check for us,” said Earthquakes right wing Ronnie O’Brien to the San Jose Mercury News. “It’s a good game for us to lose.”

Still lacking a strong defense, and probably some time to adjust to the competition, the San Jose Earthquakes let former forward Landon Donovan score the second goal that night in minute 37, with a bit of Beckham assist.

“Last year, I was probably 50% fit when I started,” said Beckham to ESPN. “I was playing in games I shouldn’t have been and it just sort of went downhill from there. I feel great after two games and my England game, so I’m ready to get on with it,” he added.

The Galaxy players looked in their element on the Home Depot Center field that night, and the Earthquakes didn’t “shake” them that hard either. Their plan worked out from the beginning, and with a Beckham-Donovan team in perfect shape, nothing got in their way that night.

“I think tonight was a good team performance. After our first game, which was difficult to take, we worked hard tonight and played well and that makes up happy,” Beckham said after the game to ESPN.
