Soccer: Beckham leaves game with strained right knee

The Los Angeles Galaxy's star midfielder and Pachuca midfielder Fernando Salazar each went after the ball just outside the Mexican club's penalty area. Beckham tripped over the ball and fell. He lay face down on the grass for a few seconds before getting up and hobbling off the field, signaling to the bench he needed to come out.
Beckham has had a nagging left ankle injury since before he joined the Galaxy on July 13.
