CARSON, Calif. — Maykel Galindo scored in the 50th minute and Chivas USA rallied to tie the Los Angeles Galaxy 2-2 Sunday in the first match of their Major League Soccer Western Conference semifinal series.
Maicon Santos scored early for Chivas USA, and Mike Magee and Landon Donovan tallied to give Los Angeles a 2-1 lead at halftime.
The winner of the second match between the clubs Sunday will advance to the conference final against either Seattle Sounders FC or the Houston Dynamo. If the teams tie again, they will play a 30-minute overtime — to be followed by penalty kicks, if necessary.
Galindo, a former Seattle Sounders player from the pre-MLS era, entered the game in the 46th minute. He pounced on a pass from Galaxy rookie Omar Gonzalez intended for goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, and scored from 15 yards into a virtually open net.
Santos put Chivas USA ahead 1-0 in the fourth minute with a diagonal 19-yard shot inside the right post. But Magee and Donovan responded with goals that put the Galaxy ahead.
Magee exploited a defensive mistake to score in the 14th minute.
Donovan's header fell to Chivas USA's Yamith Cuesta, who misplayed the ball off his right foot. Magee secured the ball and converted from 9 yards.
Another miscue helped Donovan put the Galaxy ahead in the 41st minute.
