The LA Galaxy stopped their habit of running up a lead and settling for a draw, as they defeated Columbus Crew SC 4-0 at StubHub Center on Saturday.
The Galaxy took the lead in the 42nd minute, against the run of play, as Ashley Cole made a run into the box and hit a low cross that was turned in by Ola Kamara. The lead appeared to be short lived, as Dave Romney turned the ball into his own net off the subsequent kickoff, but the own goal was chalked off as Gyasi Zardes was judged to have played the ball over the endline before the goal.
