CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Mathias Laborda scored in the 82nd minute for the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night in a 1-1 tie with the L.A. Galaxy.
The Whitecaps (8-1-1), who were only the second Major League Soccer side in the post-shootout era (since 2000) to win eight of their first nine games to begin a season, had their club regular-season record four-game win streak halted.
Sebastian Berhalter played a free kick from the left side to the back post and Laborda headed home the finish from point-blank range to cap the scoring.
The Whitecaps had 58 per cent ball possession and outshot L.A. 19-7, including 5-2 on target.
