Sporting Kansas City traveled to the LA Galaxy Sunday evening looking to extend their consecutive wins and their slim playoff hopes alive. The Galaxy needed a win to not lose ground on the last playoff spot. Both teams had their moments, both had leads that they lost, both had penalties, and both will come away disappointed with a 2-2 draw.
The Galaxy started strong, scoring in the fourth minute when Víctor Vázquez and Riqui Puig combined to play Chicharito in on goal where he slotted it home past Sporting KC keeper John Pulskamp. Sporting KC had more shots but the Galaxy were maintained possession and were the better team throughout the first half.
