It was a night of firsts for the LA Galaxy: Gastón Brugman scoring twice, Douglas Costa defending on the 18 (!), the Galaxy leading by four in the 52nd minute, and dangerous counterattacks! What a game to put together in response to an absolute spanking by Vancouver earlier in the week.
The game started with a goal off a fantastic run by Brugman and a lovely pass from Grandsir, and the Galaxy never looked back. Even their long distance shots managed to find the net. It’s like their finishing boots finally arrived in the mail.
The only wrinkle in the entire evening was Douglas Costa earning an obvious red card.
