Former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez missed a last-gasp penalty as Los Angeles Galaxy shared the spoils with Sporting Kansas City.
Hernandez affectionately called Chicharito had notched a brace and was on the cusp of a hattrick but fluffed his lines from 12-yards much to the chagrin of the home side.
The veteran Mexican striker went for the Panenka in a 96th-minute penalty but failed spectacularly in restoring the lead and brought a thrilling end to an exciting game which ended 2-2.
How did the game pan out?
Chicharito broke the game's deadlock after just four minutes into the game after a great build-up from La Masia graduates Victor Valdez and Riqui Puig.

But Sporting Kansas raced back into the game after halftime when Johnny Russell levelled the score from the penalty spot.
Felipe Hernandez will complete the fightback with a 76th minute, however, Chicharito will score his personal second and the needed equalizer for the home side.
The 34-year-old had the perfect opportunity to crown an excellent outing when he was presented a last-gasp penalty.
Unfortunately, the ex-United goal poacher tried the exquisite Panenka penalty but his attempt was easily repelled by the goalkeeper, which left Chicharito visibly embarrassed before rendering an unqualified apology by holding his hands in the air to show remorse.

FootballJavier Hernandez issues come-get-me plea to Man United to solve attacking issues
Earlier, Sports Brief reported that former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has offered to play for free for his former club as their poor transfer season continues.
Manchester United was set for a major transfer spree this summer after a lethargic season that saw them record their lowest-ever tally in history. New boss Erik ten Hag was supposed to spearhead the summer activity.
However, the club has only brought in Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez. The striking department remains a major concern, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo's future still uncertain.
