Araujo's header in the 60th minute past goalkeeper Joe Willis made up for a foul that led to Javier"Chicharito" Hernandez's goal being disallowed by VAR in the 51st minute. Araujo fouled Nashville's Hany Mukhtar, leading to the turnover and the apparent score.
Nine minutes later, the Galaxy defender got a crossing pass from Samuel Grandsir and headed it in from close range. It was Araujo's first goal since Oct. 7, 2020, against Portland. Nashville coach Garry Smith did not make the trip due to illness. First assistant Steve Guppy was the acting coach. Mukhtar, the MLS goal champion with 23 in the regular season, had a run up the right side in the 46th minute before Galaxy goalkeeper Jonathan Bond stopped it for one of his five saves.
Nashville had a pair of chances in the final 30-plus minutes but could not convert. Teal Bunbury's header in the 65th minute was too high and just went over the crossbar while C.J. Sapong's shot in the 89th minute was wide right.Hernandez, making his first MLS playoff appearance in three years with the Galaxy, appeared to give LA a 1-0 advantage with a shot that found the top of the far corner of the net before it was disallowed.© 2022 The Associated Press.
