Four wins in a row. It’s unbelievable knowing they were left for dead almost a month ago. This particular win in the El Trafico started ugly: the Galaxy midfield was overrun, and their defense beat by through balls and balls over the top. The hot weather didn’t help, and the Galaxy must have had heavy legs from several games in a short time span. But thanks to David Bingham (and some criminally bad finishing from LAFC), the Galaxy survived the first half and LAFC proceeded to self-destruct in the second.
The tides turned after Pavon had a moment of brilliance with a chip goal, and Mark-Anthony Kaye got a red card for a late and reckless challenge on Julian Araujo.
