CARSON, Calif. Clearance Steph Curry Shoes . -- Laurent Courtois scored an early goal and the Los Angeles Galaxy beat El Salvadors Isidro Metapan 1-0 Wednesday night to take command of their group in the CONCACAF Champions League. Courtois scored in the sixth minute from a Jose Villarreal pass. The Galaxy (2-0-0) -- playing in a rare 4-3-3 formation, at least when on attack -- posted their second shutout in the competition to pull ahead of Costa Ricas Cartagines (1-1-1) atop Group 8. Los Angeles will reach next years quarterfinals with a draw or victory next week at Cartagines. Metapan (0-2-1), which will be home against Los Angeles on Oct. 24, was eliminated from contention. "Weve played much better this year as a team and lost games," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. "And this competition, its about advancing, and tonight the most important aspect of this game was getting three points, and that was accomplished. So were in good position to advance -- we still have to earn a point, at least, to advance, so weve got a lot of work ahead." Arena, looking ahead to Saturdays MLS showdown with the Seattle Sounders, included only a half-dozen regular starters on his 18-man game roster, and all began the game on the bench. The Galaxy were sloppy and Metapans lack of precision up top was helpful. "Were leaving here satisfied with the result, because our players did everything they could on the field," Metapan manager Jorge Rodriguez said. "Not everybody can create chances against the Galaxy." Courtois, a 35-year-old Frenchman that Los Angeles picked up in July from cross-stadium rival Chivas USA, scored his first Galaxy goal in the sixth minute. Villarreal took a throw-in from Greg Cochrane on the left wing next to Metapans box and dropped the ball back and into the box for Courtois, who curled a shot just inside the far post. Metapan goalkeeper Henry Hernandez made leaping saves on Courtois in the 19th minute, Chandler Hoffman in the 32nd and Villarreal in the 53rd. Los Caleros had several opportunities, but Galaxy goalkeeper Brian Rowe made a diving stop on a Jose Peraza shot in the 17th minute and defender Kofi Opare halted a Nicolas Munoz breakaway just inside Los Angeles box in the 83rd.

Next up: a new coach.The Jets hired former Houston Texans executive Mike Maccagnan on Tuesday, replacing the fired John Idzik.Maccagnan was Houstons director of college scouting and the only GM candidate who received a second meeting with the Jets. Maccagnan first interviewed with owner Woody Johnson and consultants Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf last Monday before having another meeting Friday and staying in New Jersey over the weekend.We interviewed a number of impressive, qualified candidates, but Mike Maccagnan clearly stood out, Johnson said in a statement. Mikes attention to detail, strong personnel background and collaborative approach to evaluating players made it clear that he is the right choice to be the next general manager of the New York Jets.The Jets are still searching for a coach to replace Rex Ryan, who was fired along with Idzik on Dec. 29 after a 4-12 season in which the Jets missed the post-season for the fourth straight year.New York interviewed Arizona defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles for a second time Tuesday — and Maccagnan was involved in the meeting. The Jets are also high on Seattle defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn, but must wait until the Seahawks are eliminated from the playoffs or the bye week before the Super Bowl to interview him again.As with all teams, there are some areas we need to address, Maccagnan said. But were going to hire the right head coach, evaluate our personnel and work together to build a football operation to get the New York Jets back on the winning track.In terms of the teams power structure, both Maccagnan and the new coach will report directly to Johnson. Maccagnan will have final say on the 53-man roster, while the coach will decide who plays.Johnson chose to go in a new direction at both coach and general manager, despite Idzik only having the job for two years. In order to determine the most suitable candidates, the owner hired the services of Casserly and Wolf, both experienced and well-respected former NFL general managers.The Jets interviewed seven candidates for the GM job, and Maccagnans strong background in personnel impressed Johnson. He has very little experience on the business end, in terms of salary cap issues and contracts, which was Idziks strength. But Maccagnan is known to have a terrific eye for talent.Mike Maccagnan is an outstanding football man, one who is highly organized, and an excellent evaluator, Casserly said. He is very thorough in his preparation and will do a terrific job for the Jets.Maccagnan has close ties to Casserly, which likely bolstered the new GMs chances. He had been with the Texans sincee 2000, when Casserly — then Houstons general manager — hired him and contributed to every draft since the teams inception. Steph Curry Shoes Deals. Maccagnan also previously worked with Casserly in Washington, where he was a scout for the Redskins for six seasons.He was promoted to director of college scouting for the Texans in 2011 after previously working as the teams assistant director. He also has spent time in the scouting and player personnel departments of the CFLs Ottawa Rough Riders and Saskatchewan Roughriders, and the World Leagues London Monarchs, as well as the World Leagues offices.Maccagnan grew up in Hightstown, New Jersey, about an hour south of the Jets facility in Florham Park.He beat out six other candidates, including Tampa Bay director of player personnel Jon Robinson, Miami director of college scouting Chris Grier, Philadelphia director of pro personnel Rick Mueller, Seattle director of pro personnel Trent Kirchner, Cleveland executive chief of staff Bill Kuharich and Jets senior director of football administration Rod Graves.In my line of work, Maccagnan said, having the chance to serve as a general manager is what you work toward your entire career.The first order of business for Maccagnan will be helping the team find a new coach.Once thats sorted out, Maccagnan will have a solid salary cap situation with the Jets, who enter the off-season about $40 million under the cap. He will have several key decisions to make in the next several months, including figuring out the quarterback position.Geno Smith mostly struggled through his second season, and the Jets could opt to upgrade the position through free agency or the draft, in which they hold the No. 6 pick. Oregons Marcus Mariota and Florida States Jameis Winston are considered the top quarterbacks who could be available, but both could be gone before New York selects.Maccagnan will also need to address the cornerback spot, which heavily contributed to the teams struggles last season because of injuries and inconsistency. Star defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is in line for a new contract after a solid fourth season, and Maccagnan must determine whether wide receiver Percy Harvin, a midseason acquisition, is worth a $10.5 million cap hit. Left tackle DBrickashaw Ferguson ($11.7 million) and centre Nick Mangold ($10.4 million) will also be hefty cap hits.I have enjoyed getting to know Mr. Johnson during the interview process and am grateful to him for this opportunity, Maccagnan said. We have a solid foundation of players and a state-of-the-art facility in one of the most exciting and dynamic areas in America.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
