CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Mathias Laborda scored in the 82nd minute for the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night in a 1-1 tie with the L.A. Galaxy. 

The Whitecaps (8-1-1), who were only the second Major League Soccer side in the post-shootout era (since 2000) to win eight of their first nine games to begin a season, had their club regular-season record four-game win streak halted. 

Sebastian Berhalter played a free kick from the left side to the back post and Laborda headed home the finish from point-blank range to cap the scoring.

The Whitecaps had 58 per cent ball possession and outshot L.A. 19-7, including 5-2 on target. 

Joseph Paintsil opened the scoring in the 46th minute. Lucas Sanabria, in the opening seconds of the second half, stole a misplayed ball from Whitecaps goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka and fed Paintsil for a finish from the right side of the area. 

JT Marcinkowski had four saves for the Galaxy (3-4-4). 

Takaoka finished with one save.
