Giovani dos Santos' performance a bright spot in frustrating LA Galaxy defeat

CARSON, Calif. – Giovani dos Santos ended his draught in the LA Galaxy’s 3-2 defeat with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.

Dos Santos provided the team’s second goal as Los Angeles battled back from a two-goal deficit to earn their first point at home since March 31. The goal was dos Santos’ first since May 27 of last year.

During his 79 minutes of play, the Mexican forward was aggressive as he was pushed higher up the field than he had been during his second-half shift last week.

Rather than drop deep to receive the ball, the 28-year-old Mexican international found himself in advanced positions allowing more space for Ola Kamara, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Romain Alessandrini – as evidenced in the graph below of his shots and completed passes.
