CARSON (California) Dec 2: David Beckham stood on the podium draped in the Union flag. With a practiced lift and a broad smile, he raised the sparkling Major League Soccer Cup over his head to a raucous ovation amid a confetti blizzard.

Now that’s a Hollywood ending worthy of a star.

Beckham wrapped up his MLS career as a two-time champion Saturday as the Galaxy came from a goal down to beat Houston Dynamo 3-1.

With a stirring second-half surge capped by penalties by Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane, Galaxy won their fourth MLS Cup, tying DC United for the MLS record.

The Galaxy also gave an appropriate farewell to Beckham, the 37-year-old former England captain who transformed the league and his team over six seasons in Los Angeles.

“It’s been a successful six years here, and now that we’ve won the second one, it’s even more satisfying,” Beckham said.

“I just hope people have enjoyed me playing here. It’s what I always hope for when I step on the field.”

Beckham deflected questions Saturday about where his next stop would be.

“I have no idea,” Beckham said. “More important I am happy wearing this uniform today. I am happy I been successful with this club.”—Agencies
