				<description><![CDATA[CARSON, California (Ticker) -- 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."

Cristman capitalized on a rebound for his first goal of the 
night.  Joseph's header off Mauricio Castro's corner kick was 
saved by Steve Cronin, but the goalkeeper let the rebound roll 
toward the right goalpost, where an open Cristman poked it from 
two yards out.

After Ralston delivered a cross from the right corner, Cristman 
headed on the ball and sent a powerful shot into the far side.  
He is now tied with Ralston for the team lead in goals.

"I feel overall that we were unfortunate to lose this game," Los
Angeles coach Ruud Gullit said.  "In the first half, our problem
was the midfield people are panicking and giving the ball away. 
It takes you out of your rhythm and there's no need for that."

David Beckham halved the deficit in the 66th minute as the 
British superstar blasted a shot from the top of the box which 
deflected off a New England defender before sailing past 
goalkeeper Matt Reis for his fifth goal of the campaign.

"In the second half, I thought we had our chances and didn't 
capitalize on them. That's what makes it hard - to have the 
opportunities and come away with a loss," Beckham said.  "I 
think this is one of the hardest teams we've come across and 
it's encouraging that we came back in the second half.  So 
that's something to build on."

With the win, New England (10-4-3) increased its lead in the 
Eastern Conference standings to seven points over the 
second-place Columbus Crew (8-4-2).

"I think we deserve to win, but we made it difficult on 
ourselves," Revolution coach Steve Nicol said.

Kronin made five saves for Western Conference-leading Los 
Angeles (6-6-3), which still holds a one-point edge over Real 
Salt Lake (5-6-5) and the Houston Dynamo (4-4-8).]]></description>
