give Los Angeles a 1-0 lead. Emmanuel Boateng chased down a ball at the
edge of the 18-yard box and chipped a cross in front of goal to find
Gordon's head.
Jacob Peterson tied it at one goal each in the 50th
minute when he headed home Dominic Dwyer's cross. It was Peterson's
fifth straight home game with a goal.
Dwyer made it 2-1 in the
69th. Benny Feilhaber quickly played a free kick, Saad Abdul-Salaam was
first to the through ball in the 18-yard box and Dwyer touched home a
cross.
Sporting goalkeeper Tim Melia returned to the starting lineup after missing the last six games due to a back injury.
