Story summary

In a 3-2 victory on Saturday night, the LA Galaxy triumphed over Minnesota United in St. Paul, Minn., with key contributions from Marco Reus who scored one goal and provided an assist. João Klauss headed in a free kick by Reus to tie the game at 2-2, then Reus assisted Klauss again for the winning score in the 80th minute. Pablo Ruiz also scored his first goal since joining LA Galaxy on Sept. 3 from Real Salt Lake. Minnesota United, which has lost four straight games and is winless in their last five matches, had early leads thanks to Marcus Caldeira's and Kelvin Yeboah's goals, but ultimately couldn't hold off the Galaxy. The next match for both teams will be on Saturday: LA Galaxy against Colorado at home, while Minnesota United faces Seattle away.
