Chase Gasper made a quick return to Allianz Field after recently being traded to the LA Galaxy. The former Loon came on in the 75' for another former Loon when Raheem Edwards was taken off because of an injury.
The game was goalless until VAR deemed Michael Boxall had a hand ball in the box in the 81'. LA Galaxy's Sacha Kljestan scored the goal from the spot to give the Galaxy some momentum late in the second half.
Minnesota United bounced back with a goal of their own in the 87' when Robin Lod scored his 21st MLS regular season goal for the club. Lod is now tied with Darwin Quintero, Kevin Molino and Christian Ramirez for regular season goals scored. When looking at over goals scored Lod sits in second with 25 to Quintero's 27.
As the few remaining minutes ticked by, neither team could create a second goal so each took a point from the match.
Next up for Minnesota United is an away game at FC Dallas on Sunday evening at 6:00pm.
