Marco Reus scores twice to rally Galaxy to 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake
CARSON, Calif. (AP) --- Marco Reus scored two goals, the second one on a
penalty kick in the 85th minute to rally the Los Angeles Galaxy to a 2-1
victory over Real Salt Lake on Sunday.
Reus scored from 21 yards out off a free kick to give the Galaxy a 1-0 lead in
the 9th minute. The kick was awarded after Gabriel Pec was fouled by Real Salt
Lake midfielder Stijn Spierings.
Galaxy goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski was charged with an own goal in the final
minute of stoppage time, tying it 1-1 at halftime. The ball deflected off the
post and into the net when he dove to make a save on Zavier Gozo's shot.
Reus scored the winner on a PK after a foul on Sam Junqua for shoving Elijah
Wynder in the back on a corner kick. It was the fourth goal this season for
Reus and his 10th in 37 career appearances.
Marcinkowski saved nine shots for Los Angeles (3-4-3).
Rafael Cabral totaled four saves for Real Salt Lake (5-3-1).
Real Salt Lake went 5-0-1 in a six-match stretch before losing 2-0 to visiting
Inter Miami on Wednesday. The club falls to 1-2-1 on the road.
The Galaxy were coming off a 1-1-1 road trip and improve to 2-2-1 at home.
