David Beckham confronted a fan sitting in a section where unflattering banners about him were displayed during his first Los Angeles Galaxy home game of the season Sunday night.

As Beckham left the field at halftime, he went over to a section of seats where one of the team's support groups holds court and appeared to shout something. The fan jumped down from the section and was subdued by security then escorted off the field.

Fans in the L.A. Riot Squad section were holding up Beckham's jersey and beating it. One of their homemade signs read, `Go home fraud' while another said, `23: Repent.'

It was all part of a rough reception for Beckham, who missed the first half of the Major League Soccer season while he was on a five-month loan to AC Milan, the team that played a friendly with the Galaxy on Sunday. The teams played to a 2-2 tie.

The English star was booed more than cheered during introductions, and he was booed for a while the first several times he touched the ball.

Boos were mixed with cheers when Beckham assisted on the Galaxy's game-tying goal in the 30th minute.
