Spanish and European champions Barcelona claimed a 2-1 victory over America's LA Galaxy in a friendly that attracted 93,137 fans to the Rose Bowl Stadium. The crowd was the largest to attend a match in the United States since the 1994 World Cup. Young striker Rodriguez put Barcelona ahead after 11 minutes with a close-range effort. England winger David Beckham, who confronted a Galaxy fan during a friendly game against Milan last month, leveled the score just before the break with a trademark free kick. Winger Jeffren Suarez, 21, sealed Braca's victory seven minutes past the hour mark after being set-up by Sergio Busquets. The Catalan giants, who thrashed Egyptian champions Ahli 4-1 in the Wembley Cup, will also face Seattle Sounders and Mexico's Guadalajara in their three-game tour of the United States.
