Michael Boxall and Romario Ibarra each scored their first career MLS goals and Minnesota United twice came from a goal down to earn a 2-2 draw against the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center on Saturday evening.
The result marks just the fourth point the Loons have earned away from home this season as they begin a five-match road trip. Minnesota currently sit in eighth in the West, six points beneath the line with 10 matches remaining.
Romain Alessandrini scored early for the fourth-place Galaxy, and Sebastian Lletget put LA in front again nine minutes after Boxall leveled for the first time.
But the Galaxy failed to build their lead on additional first-half chances, and were forced to split points despite outshooting the visitors 17-10 and leading 10-4 in efforts on target.
