Ríos and Owusu score goals for Montreal in 2-2 tie with Galaxy

MONTREAL (AP) — Daniel Ríos scored his first goal in MLS and Prince Owusu also scored a goal for CF Montreal in a 2-2 tie with the LA Galaxy on Saturday night.

Goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski was shown a red card in the 68th minute, was replaced by Novak Micovic and the Galaxy played a man down the rest of the way. LA has a red card in three consecutive games.

Owusu scored his career-high tying 13th goal this season to make it 2-2 in the 79th minute. The 29-year-old forward, who also scored 13 goals for Montreal last season, has a goal in four consecutive games and scored seven goals in the past seven.

Montreal (6-10-5) has a season-long four-game unbeaten streak.

Rubén Ramos Jr. and Maya Yoshida each scored a goal for the Galaxy (6-9-7), who had beaten San Jose 1-0 on Wednesday to snap a six-game winless streak.

Ríos made his debut for Montreal and opened the scoring in the 16th minute. Matty Longstaff played a low ball into the area from the right side that was parried by Marcinkowski at the front post before Ríos tapped it the rebound from point-blank range.

Ramos scored his first career MLS goal in the 20th. On the counter-attack, Kyōgo Furuhashi played a first-touch shot off a cross from Robert Taylor that was stopped by goalkeeper Thomas Gillier, but Ramos slammed home the putback to make it 1-1.

Yoshida back-heeled a shot from the center of the area into the net to give the Galaxy a 2-1 lead in the 48th minute.
