CARSON, Calif. — Plenty of emotion was expected for Sigi Schmid’s return to coaching and the two teams he’s spent the most time running didn’t disappoint on that front.
The Saturday night start of Schmid’s second stint with the Los Angeles Galaxy featured plenty of hard tackles, pushing, shoving and yelling in the early going. And by the second half of this eventual 0-0 draw, it began featuring some offense as well as both sides opened up and had plenty of near misses.
Ultimately, a pair of diving second-half stops by Sounders keeper Stefan Frei would help the visitors gain a valuable road point.
