LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders

LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders shared the points in a 1-1 draw at Dignity Health Sports Park, with the hosts unable to hold onto a first-half lead they'd fought hard to earn. The standout moment came right before the break, when Marco Reus stepped up and coolly converted from the penalty spot to put Los Angeles Galaxy in front, a display good enough to earn him Player of the Match honors. Reus's 44th-minute penalty looked like it might hold up, but Seattle Sounders kept pushing and were rewarded in the 81st minute when Paul Arriola finished off a chance created by Jordan Morris to level things. Both sides picked up late yellow cards as tempers flared in stoppage time, but neither could find a winner. For Los Angeles Galaxy, the result continues a rocky stretch of form as they search for consistency. Seattle Sounders, meanwhile, stretched their own winless run, leaving both clubs still hunting for the kind of result that could shift momentum down the stretch of the season.
