Ghana forward Joseph Paintsil scored his fourth Major League Soccer goal of the season to rescue a point for LA Galaxy in a dramatic 1-1 draw against the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday morning.
The 27-year-old produced a moment of quality to find the net in a fiercely contested encounter, ensuring the defending MLS champions avoided defeat in the California derby.
Paintsil’s equaliser capped an impressive individual performance as he continued his fine run of form in the American top flight. The former Genk forward remained a constant attacking threat throughout the match, using his pace and creativity to trouble the Earthquakes’ defence.
The goal takes the Ghana international's tally to four league goals this season, underlining his growing influence for the Galaxy as they push for improved results.
Paintsil will now look to maintain his scoring form in the coming weeks while strengthening his case for future Ghana national team selections.
