Galaxy’s defense twice squanders the lead in tie with Rapids

About an hour before the StubHub Center gates opened to the public Tuesday, the stadium’s two huge video boards flashed with a message congratulating Galaxy forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic for scoring his 500th career goal.

It was just a test — and for the second game in a row, it was an announcement none of the paying customers saw, with Ibrahimovic going scoreless as the Galaxy went winless in a 2-2 draw with the Colorado Rapids.

That extended the Galaxy’s winless streak to three games and again it was defensive errors that let the team down, with Colorado (6-12-6) rallying from one-goal deficits twice in the second half.
