Last night the LA Galaxy limped into the 2016 MLS Cup playoffs after an uninspiring defeat vs. FC Dallas, thanks to a Rapids victory over the Timbers. The performance wasn’t that bad, but the result was certainly disappointing.
Bruce made two tactical substitutions in Texas with mixed results: One worked (Replacing Daniel Steres with AJ DeLaGarza), while the other was a head-scratcher. (Moving Lletget out of the central midfield and dispatching a rusty Steven Gerrard in his place)
How did the players perform?
Excellent!
