A Cristian Pavon golazo was cancelled out by a second-half goal from Mauro Manotas, as the LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo settled for a 1-1 draw Saturday before a sellout crowd at BBVA Stadium. The match served as Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez’s official Galaxy debut, and also was Tab Ramos’ competitive debut as Houston’s head coach.

The Galaxy rushed out to a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute, when Pavon scored a jaw-dropping curler from atop the 18-yard box. The Argentine winger collected a long punt from David Bingham, dribbled past several Houston defenders and left goalkeeper Marko Maric with little chance on his strike.
