CARSON \u2014 The Galaxy were 10 minutes away from picking up three much-needed points Saturday against one of the hottest teams in the MLS. That was until Math\u00edas Laborda scored an 80th-minute goal for Vancouver to come away with a 1-1 tie against the Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park.<\/p>\n

Joseph Paintsil scored the Galaxy\u2019s lone goal in the 46th minute. It was his second goal of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a game we should see out,\u201d Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. \u201cI thought we had a real opportunity to grab three points and unfortunately, we didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Los Angeles came away with a point, Justin Haak said that the Galaxy\u2019s locker room wasn\u2019t happy with the final result.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody in the locker room feels like we lost today because of how we were winning,\u201d Haak said. \u201cI think that shows the mindset we all have. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any game where we step on the field and think the other team is better than us. We have a talented locker room and we can play against anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a match that was billed as a reunion between Germany national team icons, Los Angeles\u2019 Marco Reus and Vancouver\u2019s Thomas M\u00fcller, it never fully materialized.<\/p>\n

M\u00fcller was a late scratch with an illness, while Reus was subbed off at halftime after sustaining a foot injury early in the first half, according to Vanney.<\/p>\n

The Whitecaps were riding a four-match winning streak coming into Saturday. Their confidence showed early as they had double the amount of shot attempts as the Galaxy in the first half.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Emmanuel Sabbi almost got Vancouver on the board in the 18th minute when he took one touch and fired a shot from a few yards away, but JT Marcinkowski made a stellar save to keep the match scoreless.<\/p>\n

Searching for their first shot on goal, Paintsil nearly delivered for Los Angeles in the 23rd minute, but his left-footed shot attempt slowly rolled right into the hands of Yohei Takaoka.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy\u2019s defense was tested in the waning moments of the first half with Vancouver taking three shot attempts in the final five minutes.<\/p>\n

Less than a minute into the second half, a poor clearance from Takaoka led to Lucas Sanabria finding Paintsil, who was all alone in the final third. Paintsil took one touch and fired away from inside the box to give the Galaxy a one-goal lead 47 seconds into the second half.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMy positioning with Lucas\u2019 pass and the goal was something amazing. Big thanks to Lucas for the assist,\u201d Paintsil said.<\/p>\n

The second half saw a much better effort from the Galaxy\u2019s backline. Playing with momentum and swagger thanks to Paintsil\u2019s goal, Los Angeles gave a much more inspired second-half effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that also came from the energy of the tea and the intensity,\u201d Haak said about the Galaxy\u2019s second-half defensive effort. \u201cThat put us on the right foot starting off the second half like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things got a bit chippy late when the Galaxy picked up two yellow cards in the 65th and 67th minutes.<\/p>\n

Marcinkowski took a hard blow from Brian White in the 71st minute when they both went up for a cross inside the box. The Galaxy\u2019s goalkeeper was a bit shaken up, but quickly shook it off.<\/p>\n

Desperate for an equalizer, Vancouver kicked their offense into overdrive. After multiple runs down the left touchline, the Whitecaps finally pieced together the perfect run when Laborda headed in a free kick in the 80th minute.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles nearly had a game-winner in the 85th minute when Paintsil tracked down the ball inside the box and found Elijah Wynder, who missed wide right on his shot attempt.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy will kick off their three-game road stand Saturday against Atlanta United, with trips to Seattle and Sporting Kansas City on the horizon, before returning back to the Dignity Health Sports Park on May 23.<\/p>\n
