Borchers' late own-goal gifts Galaxy a point against Timbers

LOS ANGELES - An own-goal by Portland Timbers defender Nat Borchers gave the listless LA Galaxy a 1-1 draw on Sunday in a clash of the last two MLS Cup champions.

Fanendo Adi had given reigning title holders Portland the lead in the 52nd minute, taking advantage of Rafael Garcia's hesitation to belt a low drive into the bottom right corner.

But Borchers, who enjoyed an otherwise solid outing, handed an equalizer to the hosts in the 84th, diving in a bid to clear Sebastian Lletget's cross but instead heading into his own net.

Borchers' miscue came after the Timbers were infuriated by Nigel de Jong's ugly challenge on Darlington Nagbe.

Nagbe left the game injured while Dutch midfielder de Jong, signed by the Galaxy in February after negotiating his exit from AC Milan, drew only a yellow card.
