Galaxy fail to preserve a lead for the second consecutive game, tying 2-2 with D.C. United

The Galaxy failed to preserve a lead for the second consecutive game, tying 2-2 on Wednesday night at Stubhub Center with the team that has the worst record in MLS. But with three goals nullified because of offside calls, coach Sigi Schmid was critical of the officials.

In the opening five minutes, Zlatan Ibrahimovic started the scoring in his trademark style. After Dave Romney received a pass from Ashley Cole and sent in a looping cross from the left wing, Ibrahimovic cut back toward goal and took the ball on the volley, sending it past goalkeeper David Ousted.
