📝 Galaxy score late pen to split points with Seattle in six-goal thriller | OneFootball

LA Galaxy hosted Seattle Sounders on Friday night and the points were shared after a dramatic 3-3 draw.

Scorers: Hernandez 10′, Vázquez 42′, Joveljić 90+3′; Rowe 53′, Ruidíaz 61′, Morris 73′

Fans who tuned in to the action on the West coast were treated to a thriller as LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders entertained in a tale of two halves.

The hosts were the first side to find their scoring touch with Javier Hernandez scoring against one of his favourite opponents for a third successive game following some close control skills in the box.

Then as the match went on, the Galaxy pressed for a second and a moment of magic from Victor Vázquez made it seem like the hosts were in complete control.

However, coming out into the second half the match turned on its head as Seattle pushed back.

Raul Ruidíaz picked out Kelyn Rowe in the box and the midfielder’s clinical finish made things 2-1. The visitors then hit the woodwork twice before Ruidíaz eventually leveled the score with one of his own.

With roughly half an hour to go the match was still up for grabs for either side. New Galaxy signing Riqui Puig also made his debut off the bench.

Over time the second-half resurgence from the visitors continued and Jordan Morris’ header made it look like Seattle would complete a stunning 3-2 comeback but we had more drama in store.

VAR awarded LA Galaxy a penalty at the death after a handball in the box and substitute Dejan Joveljić smashed the ball home to save his side a point.

The result means the Galaxy are sixth while the Sounders are seventh.
