SANDY, Utah - As the minutes wound down on the Real Monarchs' second match of the season against LA Galaxy II, it looked like it would end the same as the first - in a scoreless draw.

However, Galaxy defender Bradley Diallo had different plans, netting a stoppage-time goal to send the Monarchs to them to their third consecutive defeat, 1-0 at Rio Tinto Stadium.

The Galaxy threatened the goal in the 31st minutes with a slew of shots form inside the box. GK Eric Osswald was up to the task though and kept LA out of the net and the match remained scoreless.

In the 38th minute, DF Jordan Murrell forced a low-angle save from LA GK Clement Diop. Murrell made an overlapping run up the left side and blasted a near-post shot that Diop palmed away for a corner kick and the score remained 0-0.

In the 42nd minute, MF Lucas Baldin nearly broke the tie in emphatic fashion. After a foul against the sideline near LA's bench, Baldin stood over the ball and rifled a shot from 45 yards out that needed a last-second swipe of the glove by Diop to prevent the goal, giving the Monarchs another corner kick.

The second half saw more of the same, but the game lacked the fluidity of the first half as the rains came pouring down until Diallo's stoppage-time winner.

The Monarchs will host the Sacramento Republic on Wednesday at Rio Tinto Stadium. The match is scheduled for a 7 p.m. MT kickoff with live television coverage on KMYU.
