In the 27th minute a Tijuana header by Pablo Meza off of a corner kick just missed the net.<\/p>\n

In the 28th minute Daniel Steres made a great stop preventing a Tijuana chance on the left side. The Galaxy had a chance in the 30th minute but Raul Mendiola’s pass to an open Ari Lassiter hit a Tijuana defender.<\/p>\n

Each side had four total shots in the first half with LA having two on goal.<\/p>\n

First year\u00a0Galaxy head coach Curt Onalfo made wholesale changes in the second half\u00a0as he\u00a0wanted to see what his bench could do.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy broke the ice in the 52nd minute when Jose Villareal parlayed a perfect pass by Emmanuel Boateng in the front of the net into a goal as he booted it by Tijuana goalkeeper Luis Michel.<\/p>\n

Tijuana got it right back two minutes later when Matias Pizano scored on a free kick after Dave Romney was hit with a penalty. Pizano beat Clement Diop who replaced Rowe to start the second half.<\/p>\n

Dio made a diving save off a rebound shot in the 56th minute to keep it deadlocked at one.<\/p>\n

Diop made another sprawling save in the 81st minute to keep it even and it remained knotted at one the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

Two minutes of\u00a0extra time were added but neither team could break through as they settled for the tie.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy was playing without Gyasi Zardes and\u00a0Robbie Rogers (injuries) and Giovani dos Santos (international play).<\/p>\n
