The LA Galaxy’s quest in the 2022 U.S. Open Cup continues Wednesday, when they head down to Irvine to take on NISA outfit California United Strikers FC at Championship Soccer Stadium in the Round of 32.
The Galaxy are fresh off a weekend victory, a hard-fought 1-0 road win over Austin FC. Riding Mark Delgado’s early golazo for three points, that performance showed LA’s defense is playing genuinely well this season, but their attack has fallen out of rhythm of late. They can still scrap for goals, but the gilt-edged chances have gotten pretty limited. Still, they’re picking up results more often than not and the amount of fight they’re showing should not be discounted.
