Laborda scores goal in 82nd minute for Whitecaps in 1-1 tie with Galaxy
CARSON, Calif. (AP) --- Mathias Laborda scored in the 82nd minute for the
Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night in a 1-1 tie with the LA Galaxy.
The Whitecaps (8-1-1), who were only the second MLS team 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 snapped.
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% possession and outshot LA 19-7, 5-2 on target.
Joseph Paintsil opened the scoring in the 46th minute. Lucas Sanabria, in the
opening seconds of the second half, stole a misplayed ball from Whitecaps
goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka and fed Paintsil for a finish from the right side of
the area.
JT Marcinkowski had four saves for the Galaxy (3-4-4).
Takaoka finished with one save.
