Nobody won. Nobody lost.
That seemed an appropriate conclusion to a torrid 90 minutes in which LAFC and the Galaxy took 35 shots, scored six goals and erased five deficits between them before eventually settling for a 3-3 draw.
Perhaps settling is the wrong word though because Saturday’s result was hard-earned. In a game that marked the 12th meeting between the two neighborhood rivals, it was also one of the best.
In fact the Galaxy’s Dejan Joveljic, one of nine starters who was playing in his first El Tráfico, didn’t want it to end — and only partly because he scored his first two MLS goals in the game.
