Furious after a beer can was thrown at him, David Beckham reacted strongly during his first game back for LA Galaxy.
During Galaxy’s 2-2 draw with Toronto on Wednesday, he became a target.
Throughout the game, Beckham faced a chorus of boos and paused play to hold up the beer can, gesturing angrily at the crowd as officials approached.
Following Galaxy’s comeback from a 2-0 deficit in the MLS Champions League first leg, he remarked: “It was very disappointing. Everyone saw what happened. We had a big crowd, a great atmosphere, and the majority were great to play in front of.”
“But a minority reacted like that. It’s disappointing, especially since kids witness that kind of behavior,” he continued.
At 36, the former England captain returned to action for his club for the first time since leading them to the MLS Cup last November.
However, the midfield star had the final laugh, as his corner in the 89th minute was scrambled in by Landon Donovan, a former Everton loan player.
