Reus has 1 goal and 1 assist for Galaxy in 3-2 win over sliding Minnesota
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) --- Marco Reus had a goal and an assists, Joao Klauss and
Pablo Ruiz also scored a goal, and the LA Galaxy beat Minnesota United 3-2 on
Saturday night.
Minnesota (7-11-8) has lost four straight and is winless in its last five.
Reus played a free kick from near the left end line to the near post, where
Klauss flicked a header inside the back post into the side-net in the 76th
minute, then redirected a cross played into the area by Lucas Calegari ---
known simply as "Calegari" --- into the net to give the Galaxy (8-10-9) a 3-2
lead in the 80th.
Marcus Caldeira scored in the 23rd minute and Kelvin Yeboah converted from the
penalty spot to give Minnesota a 2-1 lead in the 30th minute. Yeboah has scored
in three consecutive games and has six of his 14 goals this season in the past
six matches.
Ruiz, acquired Sept. 3 from Real Salt Lake in exchange for $400,000 in 2027
general allocation money, scored his first goal since 2023 to give LA a 1-0
lead in the 12th minute.
Drake Callender had two save for Minnesota.
JT Marcinkowski stopped three shots for the Galaxy.
Up next
Galaxy: Host Colorado next Saturday.
Minnesota: Plays next Saturday at Seattle.
