Los Angeles vs New England

Adam Cristman scored two goals as the New England Revolution held on for a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Friday.

Cristman opened the scoring with an unassisted tally in the 33rd minute and then doubled the advantage four minutes later with his career-high sixth goal of the season to give the Revolution a 2-0 advantage.

"They were both off set pieces," Cristman said. "The first was a good effort by Sharlrie (Joseph) to get his head on the ball and made it difficult for the keeper to save and, fortunately, I was at the back post to put it away. On the second, (Steve) Ralston served in a great ball and I was able to beat (Galaxy defender) Abel (Xavier) to the ball and finish it."
