Karapetyan holds the record for the fastest hat-trick in MLS history, scoring one in five minutes in June 1998, while playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy against the Dallas Burn; the Galaxy eventually won the match 8–1.[1]
Karapeteyan played for the Los Angeles Salsa in the American Professional Soccer League in 1993 and 1994.[2] In February 1996, the Los Angeles Galaxy selected him in the 7th round (74th overall) in the 1996 MLS Inaugural Player Draft.
