The LA Galaxy came back down to Earth Sunday night, falling to Sporting Kansas City 2-0 before a sellout at the StubHub Center.
Chris Pontius almost put LA ahead when the UCSB product got on the end of an Ashley Cole cross but his header clanged off the right post and out. Ashley Cole suffered the same fate when the left back ran onto Emmanuel Boateng’s service and rifled an excellent half-volley that Tim Melia pushed off the same post.
LA came right at Sporting in the second half, coming close on several opportunities before SKC scored two goals in quick succession.
