CARSON, Calif. (AP) -Kris Boyd scored in the 56th minute to give Glasgow Rangers a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy in a soccer friendly Wednesday.
Chris Burke passed from the right edge of the penalty area to Alan Hutton, who found Boyd from the right flank. Boyd, who led the Scottish Premier League with 20 goals, beat his defender and scored from 13 meters.
"They held the ball in spots and got us running a little bit,'' said Galaxy defender Tyrone Marshall. "When we get back to (Major League Soccer), we can use that to our advantage in terms of how we play.''
The Galaxy had its best chance to score in the 17th minute. Santino Quaranta intercepted Hutton's back pass and started off on a breakaway, but goalkeeper Allan McGregor made a sliding tackle to deflect the ball.
McGregor also dived to parry Nathan Sturgis' shot with both hands in the 68th minute.
The game was the first of a heavy exhibition schedule against international opponents for the Galaxy, who later this season will be joined by former England captain David Beckham.'

Point made, tyvm
[buzzer] Sorry, that is still not a valid answer. The judges request that you stick to the current thread.
Have you ever appeared on a NFL to imply that the sport is “homo,” in any fashion? Thanks in advance.
The judges are over-ruled.
No one feels the pain of the long football offseason more than I, but let’s not go trolling on these threads.
I will let you tell Lawrence Taylor that he played a “gay” sport...but before you do that, please let me know what funeral home will handle the details and who has your will and last testament. Deal?
Celtic fans: Hibs fans without soap.
You know, you’re right...the kids are already upset, my mission is accomplished.
Which is a thread PURELY for soccer fans PURELY to get news of a major soccer match last night in the US between one of America’s main teams and one of the biggest soccer clubs in the world.
Not to discuss the merits of the sport.
Yet YOU felt it necessary to join said thread PURELY in order not in order to dicsuss said game or teams and not even to critique/attack either team or the game,but to ridicule the sport.
The judges request you go away and understand that you have contradicted your own point....
Thanks for playing.
Better luck next time.
