CARSON, Calif. -- Erick Torres gave Chivas USA an early lead and Gyasi Zardes pulled the Los Angeles Galaxy even before halftime, and the Southern California rivals played to a 1-1 tie Sunday in their final matches before Major League Soccers two-week World Cup break. The Galaxy (4-3-5), who had a 21-6 advantage in shots and held possession for 65 per cent of the game, have lost just once in the past 19 meetings, since dropping two in a row in 2007. Los Angeles leads the all-time series 21-4-8. "Not a good result for us," Los Angeles coach Bruce Arena said. "We squandered a few chances. ... There were chances for us to get a few more goals, and at the end of the day, thats the game. You could see we controlled the game for long periods of time, but youve got to get a goal. The goals were out there for us, and we didnt connect." The Galaxy are seventh in the Western Conference but have games in hand, as many as four, on all of their rivals. Chivas (2-7-5) is last in the West. "The players showed character," said Chivas coach Wilmer Cabrera, whose team has won just once in its past 13 games. "With the ball, we made some possibilities. That was important for us. ... (This result) is going to help us with what we are going to do, but we are not happy unless we get three points." Torres scored his ninth goal of the season in the 20th minute, finishing a defence-splitting pass from Leandro Barrera, as Chivas took its first lead in the SuperClasico series since May 2012, its last victory, a span of six games. The goal was his 16th since he joined Chivas last July, giving him a share of the MLS record for Mexican-born players with former Chicago Fire star Cuauhtemoc Blanco. The Galaxy (4-3-5) nearly tied the score seven minutes later, but Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy pushed Landon Donovans chip off the right post, then leaped across his goalmouth to snag Marcelo Sarvas header on the rebound. Zardes scored in the 35th minute, jumping above two defenders to head home a chip from Sarvas. Eric Gordon Jersey . Auld made 37 saves in a 5-3 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday.

FALL RIVER, Mass. -- A lawyer for the fiancee of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez asked a judge Friday to throw out perjury charges, saying Shayanna Jenkins did not wilfully lie as she was bombarded with 1,630 questions over two days before a grand jury. Jenkins has pleaded not guilty in Fall River Superior Court. Prosecutors said she lied to the grand jury nearly 30 times during the investigation into the June 17, 2013, killing of semiprofessional football player Odin Lloyd, who was dating her sister. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to killing Lloyd. He is also separately charged with killing two men in Boston in 2012. Prosecutors told Superior Court Judge E. Susan Garsh that Jenkins immediately began to lie to police and continued her lies to the grand jury. Fridays arguments centred around three lies prosecutors say Jenkins told to the grand jury regarding her communication with alleged co-conspirator Ernest Wallace, her denial that she knew there were many guns stashed in the home she shared with Hernandez, and her contention that she did not remember where she had disposed of a box she got out of the basement.dddddddddddd Janice Bassil, Jenkins attorney, said that there is no direct evidence to show her client lied, and that errors in her testimony were a "good faith mistake." "Its got to be more than circumstantial evidence. Its got to be more than guesswork and speculation," Bassil said. "Theres no evidence that she said to somebody, Im not going to remember, or Im going to go the grand jury and say I dont remember." Bassil submitted into evidence still photos from surveillance footage taken inside Hernandezs home on the night of Lloyds killing that she said seemed to show Hernandez holding what could be a gun and appearing to hide it from Jenkins. Prosecutor William McCauley said grand jurors were reasonable when they doubted Jenkins sudden gaps of memory and improbabilities in her story. The judge did not immediately rule. Jenkins is due back in court for a pretrial hearing on Dec. 22. ' ' '
