The tables were turned in the third edition of El Trafico, as part of Heineken Rivalry Week, on Friday at StubHub Center, as the LA Galaxy took an early lead but LAFC battled back for a 1-1 draw.
In contrast to the first two games between the teams this season, filled with drama, goals and wide open play, Friday's draw was largely a defensive duel, with the two biggest stars on the field the ones to break through and score on the night.
The Galaxy took the lead in the 15th minute courtesy of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as he brought down a cross with his chest and volleyed it into the net without it hitting the ground.
