After a very professional 1-0 win in their U.S. Open Cup opener, LA Galaxy were back in MLS regular season action hosting new Western Conference side, Nashville SC. Despite Nashville arriving to the MLS a couple of years ago, this is the first meeting between the two sides. In the end, it was the MLS originals, LA Galaxy, who came away with the dramatic win at home, 1-0.
The first half was fairly even affair with both sides in a little back-and-forth action. Galaxy finished the half with more possession (59%) but both sides finished with three shots, two on target, and maintained over 85% pass accuracy.
