Football News : Russell, Shelton score late goals as Sporting KC beat LA Galaxy 2-0

Johnny Russell scored in the 81st minute and Khiry Shelton added a stoppage-time goal to help Sporting Kansas City beat the LA Galaxy 2-0 on Sunday night. Russell had a hard left-footed shot saved, but it returned directly at him and he poked a high-arcing header into the left corner of the goal. Shelton scored on a breakaway for Sporting in the fifth minute of stoppage time after the Galaxy had pushed its numbers forward in search of a tying goal. Sporting (8-3-2) tied the Seattle Sounders for points in the Western Conference, with Seattle having played one less game. Javier “Chicharito” Hernández was a late scratch for the Galaxy (7-4-0). #Johnny Russell #LAGalaxy
