Los Angeles Galaxy took on Sporting Kansas City at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on Monday, September 5, in a bid to record a morale boosting victory. However, the two sides could only record a 2-2 draw.
The last 15 minutes of the game saw the away team giving away a host of chances including Frankie Hejduk’s foul for handling the ball inside the penalty area. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Omar-Bravo-c28555 converted the ensuing penalty kick to settle for a 2-2 draw.
"We got a good second goal and you think at that point we’re just going to say, ‘Listen, we’re on the road, it’s one of those nights, don’t give up another goal and get out of here.’ We didn’t get it done," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. "We made too many
individual mistakes, too many mental mistakes over the last 10 minutes or so."
The head coach was right in saying that Los Galacticos made a number of individual mistakes. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seattle-Sounders-FC-c40474 chasing LA closely with a mere four-point margin, the California-based outfit is left with little room to make mistakes if they are to pursue
the ambition of keeping the Supporters’ Shield to themselves.
The Sporting put a great show in front of the sold-out 20,512 spectators and almost made a comeback into the game in the 84th minute, when Audrelin Collins lobbed the ball into the netting. However, the goal was ruled out as Collins was deemed
offside.
Repeated replays showed that the decision was made on the thinnest of margins and could have gone either way.
The way Sporting made their comeback was not a surprise to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432, though. According to him, many teams try to fight back in this period of the season to secure a berth in the playoffs. However, his team has to concentrate on full 90 minutes in order
to remain at the top of the Western Conference and the overall standings.
