CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy’s 2016 campaign is at its infancy, but the five-time MLS Cup champs started the preseason on the right foot with a 2-1 victory over FC Shirak.
Jose Villarreal found the back of the net twice in the win while Viulen Ayvazywan scored the lone goal for the Armenian side. In the early days of preseason the results mean little, but Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena was pleased with his squad’s showing on Saturday.
“I thought it was a very good exercise for our team tonight,” Arena told reporters in the postgame press conference.
