The LA Galaxy put in a respectable showing on Sigi Schmid’s return to CenturyLink Field, as Gyasi Zardes’ first half header was enough for LA to draw Sounders 1-1 Sunday night in Seattle.
After a confident opening from a new-look Galaxy squad led by the tandem of Sigi and newly minted assistant coach Dominic Kinnear, LA took the lead off a beautiful sequence. After a bit of possession, Jonathan dos Santos surged up the middle of the park before locating Romain Alessandrini on the wing, who probed before deftly serving a teasing cross with his weaker right foot that Zardes redirected past Stefan Frei and in.
