Gallery: Exclusive images from LA Galaxy’s draw with Portland Timbers

Two Western Conference heavyweights clashed at StubHub Center on Sunday night as LA Galaxy were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against reigning MLS Cup champions Portland Timbers.

Both sides would have been looking for all three points, but ultimately had to settle for a share of the spoils after a hard-fought battle.

Fanendo Adi opened the scoring for Portland early in the second half, before a late Nat Borchers own goal earned the Galaxy a draw. LA sit fourth following the game, with Portland struggling down in ninth at this early stage.
