With some of its top players out, LAFC plays to draw against Sounders

A couple of streaks came to an end Saturday in LAFC’s 1-1 draw with the Seattle Sounders at Banc of California Stadium. But it’s likely neither team was fully satisfied with the result.

For Seattle, the point was the first it has earned in a regular-season game in Los Angeles while for LAFC the tie ended a three-game regular-season home winning streak against the Sounders.

The playoff history between the two teams has been just as one-sided, only going the other way with Seattle twice beating LAFC on its way to consecutive MLS Cup finals. But Saturday’s early-season game, played before a crowd limited to 4,900, was far from playoff quality.
