A new competition but the LA Galaxy hope it will be the same old El Trafico rivalry on Wednesday, when they host LAFC at Dignity Health Sports Park in the 2022 U.S. Open Cup Round of 16.
The Galaxy are coming off a dispiriting 3-0 home loss in league play to the Houston Dynamo on Sunday. Somewhat similar to their recent loss at home against FC Dallas, the Texas team grabbed the lead early and pretty much controlled the game from there. It seems like it was a real wakeup call for LA, but of course, they’ll need to actually wake up and start picking up results soon.
