While this edition of El Tráfico left a bitter taste in LA Galaxy fans’ mouths, the team didn’t play terribly. Coach Greg Vanney should not overreact and change what has been working: the 4-4-2 with Chicharito and Joveljiu0107 up top to start. In this game Dejan was the far better forward, putting pressure on LAFC’s back passes, and doing some decent hold up play.
The Galaxy again looked dangerous this game, and actually scored twice. Too bad they were defensively shambolic on LAFC’s goals. The Galaxy won the expected goal stat — 1.8 to LAFC’s 1.
