AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Kei Kamara scored his 145th MLS goal, tying Landon Donovan for second on the league's all-time scoring list, and LAFC played Austin to a 1-1 draw on a rainy Wednesday night.

Kamara outjumped his defender to head home Mateusz Bogusz’s corner kick in the 90th minute to help LAFC avoid being held scoreless for the first time since March 16

Kamara became the first player in MLS history to score in 17 different seasons. Chris Wondolowski holds the MLS record with 171 goals.

LAFC (10-4-4) had its club-record, eight-match win streak halted. LAFC's unbeaten streak was extended to nine consecutive matches in all competitions.

Austin (6-7-6) is 5-2-3 in its last 10 home games.

Austin forward Jáder Obrian dribbled it from near the midfield circle to the top of the 18-yard box and sent in a deflected shot to open the scoring in the 19th with his fifth goal of the season.
