Vela’s goal allows LAFC to earn tie
Carlos Vela’s 64th-minute goal Tuesday night earned LAFC a 1-1 draw against Minnesota United in St. Paul, Minn., though LAFC missed a chance to capture the top playoff seed in the Western Conference with a victory.
LAFC (19-8-4) can earn home-field advantage in the West if Real Salt Lake beats or draws Austin on Wednesday night. Brent Kallman scored in the 45th minute for Minnesota (13-12-6).
