LA Galaxy faced the fearsome Seattle Sounders FC for matchday 26 of the Major League Soccer 2022 on Friday, August 19th. The game looked good for the team led by 'Chicharito' Hernandez as they had taken the lead with two goals in the first half of the game.
In the second half, the equalizer would come thanks to Raul Ruidiaz. The go-ahead goal would come through a breakthrough on the right side and after that, he would assist Rowe to shorten the lead. Minutes later, the Peruvian would score the temporary equalizer after receiving the cross from the left side.
Then, Morris would turn the score in favor of the home team. Everything was happiness but shortly before the end of the match, the referee would award a penalty in favor of Galaxy. Danny Leyva would commit a handball inside the box and Joveljic would not forgive. The match would end in an emotionally charged draw.
