Adam Cristman scored two goals in a four-minute span to give the New England Revolution a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy last night in Carson, Calif.

The Revolution (10-4-3) used the victory to extend their lead in the Eastern Conference to 7 points over second-place Columbus.

David Beckham scored his fifth goal of the season for the Galaxy (6-6-3), whose winless streak was extended to three games.

Cristman scored his first goal in the 33d minute. Galaxy goalkeeper Steve Cronin stopped Shalrie Joseph's 14-yard header off Maurcio Castro's corner kick, but Cristman pounced on the rebound and converted from 3 yards.

In the 37th minute, Cristman scored his career-high sixth goal of the season with an 8-yard header off Steve Ralston's corner kick.

Beckham narrowed the deficit in the 65th minute on a 15-yard volley that deflected off Revolution defender Michael Parkhurst.

Los Angeles had a chance to tie the score in the 77th minute, but Edson Buddle's 12-yard shot off Beckham's crossing pass from the right flank hit the crossbar.

The Galaxy's Landon Donovan, who had the flu earlier this week, entered the game in the 46th minute.

Los Angeles's Chris Klein established an MLS record with his 100th consecutive start. Revolution defender Jay Heaps set a team record by making his 200th career start.

Rapids 4, Red Bulls 0 - Tom McManus and Mehdi Ballouchy scored goals in the first half and Colorado cruised over New York in Commerce City, Colo.

Colin Clark added a goal in the 49th minute and speedy Jamaican Omar Cummings came off the bench to seal the game with a goal in the 68th minute.

The Rapids (6-8-1) had scored only four goals during a four-game winless streak.

FC Dallas 1, Wizards 1 - Abe Thompson scored in the 91st minute to help FC Dallas tie Kansas City in Frisco, Texas.

Thompson, who entered as a substitute for forward Dominic Oduro in the second half, scored his second goal of the season on a header from 7 yards. Eric Avila set up the score with a crossing pass from 25 yards.

Scott Sealy's second goal of the year in the 39th minute snapped a 448-minute span in which no Kansas City player had scored.
