But despite the scoreless draw, the Galaxy suffered a big loss when their captain and center back, Maya Yoshida, limped off with an apparent hamstring injury late in the first half.

He also used Cameron Carter-Vickers and Mark McKenzie at center back and pushed Joe Scally across the field to right back.

“It was a long ball over my head and the center back’s head and it bounced out in front of me, there was miscommunication between the keeper and center back and I buried it top corner,” the UC San Diego-bound forward said of his 20th goal of the season.

It was set up by a massive Galaxy error with keeper Novak Micovic, making just his fifth MLS start, taking a backpass from Miki Yamane in front of his goal and flipping a poor waist-high outlet ball to center back Emiro Garcés deep in the Galaxy penalty area.

Of the 14 players the Galaxy used in the MLS Cup final, Yoshida, a center back, was the only one who had to renegotiate his contract this winter.
