VIDEO: Erik Friberg wallops Seattle back ahead vs. Galaxy

Erik Friberg has reclaimed the lead for the Seattle Sounders in the 73rd minute of their playoff with the LA Galaxy.

The home side has had the better of the second half, with a lot of its good play coming from the aerial assaults - mainly launched from the delicious left foot of Andreas Ivanschitz.

The fifth goal of the contest came courtesy of perhaps the Galaxy's biggest enemy in this contest, however: their own defence.

Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts was unfortunate to slip, but the two lines of four in front of him - or, indeed, lack of them - were caught ball-watching and failed to get anywhere near Friberg.

Not to take anything away from the Swedish midfielder though, who showed excellent balance and technique to volley home from outside of the area and score his first goal of the season.

What timing.
