It’s their first double-game week of the season, but the LA Galaxy are in good form, and on Saturday, they’ll face a new opponent, in third-year foe Nashville SC, at Dignity Health Sports Park.
The Galaxy, in league play, most recently played to a scoreless draw at the Chicago Fire last weekend. Both teams prioritized defense, they more or less both played for a point, and that’s what they got. Then on Tuesday, LA got back into the U.S. Open Cup after a two-year hiatus in the competition, with a 1-0 win over USL Championship outfit San Diego Loyal, Kevin Cabral scoring a goal in slightly fluke fashion, but even balls that clang off one’s shin after they are shot into the post count when they go in the net.
