United to steal three points away from the Los Angeles Galaxy with a 1-0 victory Saturday afternoon at The Home Depot Center. On a very hot, lazy afternoon where poor finishing frustrated the home side, a long-range blast from Adu that took a slight deflection gave United the victory and sent the Galaxy to defeat at home for the first time this season, in their final match in Carson before setting off on an extended road trip, where they haven't won away from The Home Depot Center this year.
