Sigi Schmid was just a few minutes away from a dose of sweet revenge against his old team. But a late strike from substitute Lamar Neagle salvaged a 1-1 draw for the Seattle Sounders in a pulsating clash with Schmid's LA Galaxy at CenturyLink Field on Sunday night.
Despite their humble place in the Western Conference standings, the Galaxy were the better side for long stretches and deserved their lead when Gyasi Zardes headed home a Romain Alessandrini cross in the first half. But Neagle came off the bench to stab a deflected finish past LA goalkeeper Brian Rowe, who had to spell injured starter Jon Kempin at the half-hour mark, and neither side could break the deadlock despite six minutes of stoppage time.
