David Beckham put on a show in his first start for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Posh and the boys look on as the English superstar scored his first goal on a free kick in the 27th minute and had an assist while playing 63 minutes of the Galaxy's 2-0 victory over D.C. United in the SuperLiga semifinals Wednesday night.

"It's very satisfying," Beckham said. "I wanted to get off to a good start. I'm happy."

And he became captain of his new team, with Landon Donovan turning over the armband to Beckham after their conversation a day earlier.

"He said he felt it would give the team a lift," Beckham said. "I'm very honored."

Beckham and Donovan teamed up on the Galaxy's second goal in the 47th minute, with Beckham sending a long pass to a streaking Donovan, who scored on a breakaway.
