The LA Galaxy played the Seattle Sounders toe-to-toe in the first half, looking far more composed than in recent games with decent pressure on the ball, and good passing through midfield. That pressure resulted in a goal, with the Galaxy never retreating into a defensive shell.
The Galaxy should have scored on two additional chances, but Stefan Frei stood tall in the net and denied shots by Lletget and Raveloson.
The Galaxy would wish they had those chances back when Fisher gave up a clear penalty after Roldan broke through down the right.
