Reus, Taylor, Marcinkowski guide Galaxy to 2-1 victory over Revolution
Carson, California (AP) — Marco Reus and Robert Taylor scored first-half goals, with assistance from JT Marcinkowski, as the Los Angeles Galaxy defeated the New England Revolution 2-1 on Saturday night. Reus, 37, put the Galaxy ahead in the 11th minute with a penalty kick, his fifth goal of the season and the 11th in 49 matches.
Taylor then added a second goal in the 33rd minute, making it his 15th career goal in 119 matches. Marcinkowski saved seven shots to help the Galaxy improve to a 4-4-4 home record. New England's Carles Gil equalized in the 86th minute, scoring his eighth goal of the season after Luca Langoni was fouled by Harbor Miller. Marcinkowski kept the Galaxy on track with seven saves, but conceded a late penalty goal in stoppage time, bringing the Revs' record to 3-6-2 on the road.
New England's next match is against New York City FC on Wednesday, while Los Angeles travels to Vancouver Whitecaps.
