Galaxy 1 Barcelona 1

A trademark David Beckham free kick that curled into the top left hand corner of the net almost on the strike of half time evened the score after Landon Donovan was brought down by substitute Adriano Henrique.

Barca had the better of the half, but despite the best efforts of Lionel Messi couldn’t find a way to score a second.

Todd Dunivant cleared off the line in the 38th minute though; prior to the Galaxy goal he also had the best chance of the half for L.A., sending a header inches over the bar at the half hour mark.
