By The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Kan. >> Giovani dos Santos scored to help the Galaxy tie Sporting Kansas City 1-1 and extend their unbeaten streak to six games Sunday night.

Dos Santos slipped behind the Sporting defense on the counterattack and chipped the ball, high over the head of hard-charging goalkeeper Tim Melia in the 42nd minute. It was the Galaxy’s only shot on goal in the first half.

Ashley Cole received two yellow cards in a minute, leaving the Galaxy (4-1-3) a man down from the 70th minute on.

Brad Davis scored for Kansas City in the 30th minute. He cut back to evade a pair of Galaxy defenders and blasted a left-footer past a diving Brian Rowe into the upper-left coer off a header from Gram Zusi.

Sporting KC (4-4-2), which outshot the Galaxy 17-4 and nearly doubled the Galaxy in time of possession, is winless in its last five matches.

Dos Santos has four goals and two assists in his last three games.

The Galaxy leads MLS with 18 goals.
