CARSON, Calif. (AP) - EfraÃn Ãlvarez scored in the 53rd minute and the LA Galaxy beat Real Salt Lake 1-0 on Wednesday night.
Los Angeles (10-6-1) won for the fifth time in its last eight matches. Salt Lake (5-5-6) had its two-game shutout streak end.
Ãlvarez started a give-and-go at the corner of the 18-yard box and calmly curled it around goalkeeper Zac MacMath from a difficult angle.
Los Angeles nearly made it 2-0 in the 80th but MacMath denied Kévin Cabral's wide-open attempt near the penalty spot.
