Outstanding performance
LA Galaxy•MidfielderMinnesota United raced into a 2-1 lead inside half an hour thanks to Marcus Caldeira's headed equalizer and Kelvin Yeboah's penalty, and looked well-placed to hold on for a home win as the game went quiet for long stretches after the break. But LA Galaxy's changes shifted the momentum decisively - Marco Reus and João Klauss, both introduced in the 59th minute, combined to devastating effect, with Klauss heading home an equalizer in the 76th minute before Reus struck the winner just four minutes later. The Galaxy's control of the ball throughout (56% possession, 507 passes to 391) eventually told, and their superior chance creation - four big chances created against Minnesota's two - paid off when it mattered most. For Minnesota, conceding late again will sting given their bright start, while LA Galaxy's ability to change games from the bench underlines their squad depth heading into the business end of the season.
