KANSAS CITY, Kan., Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Omar Bravo scored on a penalty kick in the 90th minute Monday, lifting Sporting Kansas City into a 2-2 tie with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
A cross from Julio Cesar went into the penalty area and nipped the arm of Galaxy defender Frankie Hejduk, drawing a whistle. Bravo made Los Angeles pay by burying the spot kick to claim a point for Sporting.
