LOS ANGELES—Alejandro Pozuelo converted a penalty and rookie Ifunanyachi Achara scored for the third straight pre-season game to help Toronto FC defeat the Los Angeles Galaxy 2-1 on Saturday.
The Galaxy went down to 10 men in the 32nd minute at Dignity Health Sports Park when Aleksandar Katai was red-carded.
Toronto was awarded the decisive penalty when Galaxy goalkeeper David Bingham took Jozy Altidore down. The penalty call survived video review and Pozuelo slotted the ball home in the 77th minute.
A wonder goal by Cristian Pavon gave L.A. the lead before Achara tied it up in first-half stoppage time.
