- Spot-kick deep into stoppage-time
- Game ends all square
- Hat-trick opportunity squandered
WHAT HAPPENED? Chicharito was handed responsibility from 12 yards deep into stoppage-time as the Galaxy sought to edge their way past Sporting Kansas City. The Mexico international was, however, to chip a tame effort into the arms of John Pulskamp as an entertaining contest finished 2-2.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: A stoppage-time effort from Hernandez saw him looking to complete a hat-trick having previously opened the scoring in the fourth minute and converted a penalty two minutes from the end of normal time. He missed out on a match ball after trying to be too clever.
WHAT NEXT FOR CHICHARITO? The Galaxy remain eighth in the Western Conference standings, just outside the play-off pack, and will be back in action on Saturday when taking on Nashville.
