Cochrane jumped on the rebound of a shot by Huckerby and guided it into a net left unguarded by Galaxy goalkeeper Steve Cronin, who had come off his line.

The Galaxy (6-8-5) had its winless streak extended to seven games. Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle, the league’s top two individual scorers, scored for the Galaxy.

David Beckham delivered a pinpoint cross that Donovan headed home in the 42nd minute.
