The LA Galaxy had their customary possession to start the game, sending waves of attacks forward. Similar to the game against Nashville SC, the Galaxy had industry around the box, but no finish for 40 minutes. They pinged the ball around, but the lethal final pass wasn’t there.
Unfortunately they were undone by a bad play in the box by Douglas Costa. Literally falling over instead of defending, he gifted LAFC a goal.
The Galaxy fought their way back into this game twice. Samuel Grandsir continued his decent run of play in the last month by scoring a lovely goal right at the end of the first half.
