CARSON, Calif. – Giancarlo González and Cristian Pavón scored to help the LA Galaxy beat Real Salt Lake 2-1 on Sunday night in their first game under interim coach Dominic Kinnear.

Kinnear took over Thursday after Guillermo Barros Schelotto was fired.

González scored his first goal of the season off a set piece, heading home a free kick from Sebastian Lletget in the 18th minute. Pavón took the ball near midfield, beat a pair of defenders, and flicked in a right-footer from point-blank range in the 65th.

The Galaxy (6-11-3) are still in playoff contention. They won for just the second time in their last 11 games, dating to a Sept. 6 victory over Los Angeles FC.
