Shorthanded LA Galaxy Earn Late 2-2 Draw with Seattle Sounders

The LA Galaxy fought back from a two-goal deficit to earn a 2-2 draw against the Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field, despite missing many regular starters due to injuries and suspensions. Seattle took an early lead with goals from Jesús Ferreira and Danny Musovski, but the Galaxy responded with a header from Maya Yoshida before halftime. In the 87th minute, Galaxy defender Miki Yamane scored his first MLS goal on a sliding first-touch shot into an open net, securing the draw. Galaxy goalkeeper Novak Micovic was instrumental, making seven crucial saves to keep his team in the game. This was the third meeting in five weeks between the two teams, with Seattle having won the previous two. The result was particularly notable given LA's struggles on the road this season and the strong performance from a shorthanded squad.
