(Carson) –\u00a0It figured to be a struggle\u00a0offensively for the Galaxy with Robbie Keane, Gyasi Zardes and Steven Gerrard all out of the lineup.\u00a0But\u00a0nobody imagined the drought would be this bad as LA failed to get off even one shot on goal in a 0-0 draw with Sporting Kansas City Thursday night before 19, 651 at StubHub Center.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy was credited with just one shot all night compared to\u00a015 for Kansas City.\u00a0KC had four shots on goal to\u00a0the Galaxy’s zero.<\/p>\n

Baggio Husidic had an opportunity early but\u00a0was\u00a0stifled\u00a0by\u00a0KC keeper Tim Mejia. Kansas City controlled the play\u00a0for most of the first half but was\u00a0unable to\u00a0capitalize.<\/p>\n

In the 38th minute Robbie Rogers’\u00a0fired a cross in front of the net that failed to connect.<\/p>\n

In the 40th minute\u00a0KC had a shot when Dom Dwyer snuck\u00a0past the LA D\u00a0as keeper Brian Rowe\u00a0came out to defend\u00a0but his shot sailed\u00a0 wide right.<\/p>\n

One minute of extra time\u00a0was added in the first half.<\/p>\n

It was more of the same for the Galaxy after the break. The best chance of the night came in the\u00a056th minute when Sebastian Lletget actually found the back of the net but his goal was nullified\u00a0due to\u00a0an offsides\u00a0call on the Galaxy.\u00a0His shot from the left side flew by Kansas City goal keeper Tim Melia but the official had already raised his flag.<\/p>\n

Emmanel Boateng replaced Jeff Larentowicz\u00a0in the 61st minute.<\/p>\n

In the 68th minute Sporting Kansas City\u00a0had an opportunity but Rowe made\u00a0the stop of a Jimmy Medranda\u00a0blast from distance.<\/p>\n

Alan\u00a0Gordon replaced Mike Magee in the 81st minute and\u00a0the Galaxy made their\u00a0final substitution of the night when\u00a0Jose\u00a0Villarreal came on for\u00a0Lletget in the 85th minute.<\/p>\n

Four minutes of extra\u00a0time were added in the second half\u00a0but neither team was able to cash in.<\/p>\n

“It had all the makings of a 0-0 game and that’s what it was,” said Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy\u00a0is now\u00a05-2-6 with the tie while Sporting KC\u00a0moved to\u00a05-8-3.<\/p>\n
