The Seattle Sounders beat reigning MLS champions LA Galaxy 3-2 thanks to a late winner from midfielder Erick Friberg. SEATTLE -- LA Galaxy manager Bruce Arena stood against the wall, cup of coffee in hand, but the caffeine he was taking in postmatch was superfluous. His team's shocking defensive performance in a 3-2 playoff defeat to the Seattle Sounders will be more than enough to keep him awake for this night and many others as winter approaches. Arena made sure to give the Sounders credit for their victory.
