Marco Reus scored on a late penalty kick for his second goal of the match as the Los Angeles Galaxy defeated visiting Real Salt Lake 2-1 on Sunday at Carson, Calif.
JT Marcinkowski made nine saves, including two in extra time to atone for an earlier mishap, for the Galaxy (3-4-3, 12 points), who won for the first time in three league matches.

The goals for Reus were his third and fourth of the season.

Real Salt Lake tied the game in first-half extra time when Marcinkowski's misfortune resulted in an own goal. Zavier Gozo blasted a shot from the right side that struck the post as Marcinkowski lunged to make the stop. The ball bounced off the post and then off Marcinkowski's back and into the goal.
The tiebreaking goal was set up when Elijah Wynder drew a foul in the penalty area on Real Salt Lake's Samuel Junqua. Reus converted in the 85th minute.
