The LA Galaxy started Saturday’s playoff game against Nashville SC with lots of industry, pressing forward to great effect. They just couldn’t get a shot off in the box to test the opposing goalkeeper. So many chances that were close, but no end result. The Galaxy possessed and controlled the ball (67% possession in the first half), with Nashville sitting back for the counter, but not even doing that very effectively. This LA line up benefited from several games in a row together, and it showed in their passing game and movement upfield. They were creative, but it wasn’t enough in the first half.
