SAN DIEGO (AP) — Cédric Bakambu scored two goals in the second half, including a penalty kick in stoppage time, to help San Diego FC tie the Seattle Sounders 2-2 on Saturday night.
San Diego (8-12-11) has played to a draw in three straight games — and five of six.

Seattle (11-10-10) is winless in its last three games.
San Diego pulled within 2-1 in the 60th minute. Seattle goalkeeper Andrew Thomas dove to his left to block a penalty kick by Anders Dreyer, but Bakambu knocked in the rebound.
Bakambu scored his fifth goal of the season on a penalty kick, with Thomas diving the wrong way. San Diego has been awarded a league-leading 12 penalty kicks this season.
Seattle scored two goals five-minutes apart earlier in the second half.
Dejan Joveljic sent in a shot from distance in the 50th. Then Sebastian Gomez, a second-half substitute, scored his second goal in two games on an easy redirection into an empty net after Pablo Sisniega couldn't get to Hassani Dotson's cross along the end line.
