COMMERCE CITY, Colo., June 19 (UPI) -- Juninho and Chad Barrett scored for Los Angeles Saturday, powering the Galaxy's 3-1 victory over Colorado.

After Colorado defender Drew Moor scored an own-goal in the 25th minute for a 1-0 Los Angeles lead, Juninho doubled the advantage in the 42nd minute, placing the ball perfectly inside the upper far corner of the goal past Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens.

Conor Casey found the net in the 65th for Colorado, but Barrett iced the game for Los Angeles (9-2-7) 15 minutes later when Todd Dunivant carried the ball down the left wing and found him open for a one-timer.

The Galaxy won for the fifth time in seven games and extended their unbeaten streak to nine.

Colorado fell to 5-4-7 with the loss.
