While the much-anticipated returns of Victor Vazquez and Chicharito will be pushed back just a bit further, the LA Galaxy did enjoy the return of their international stars on Wednesday in a 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake at Dignity Health Sports Park. One such star, Efrain Alvarez, stole the spotlight in the second half. The first half, however, didn't offer much in terms of action.
Both sides had some good opportunities, with the Galaxy finishing the half with nine shots, five on target. RSL goalkeeper Zac MacMath came up with several big saves to keep this match scoreless going into the halftime break.
