LA Galaxy II (0-3-2, 2 points) fell 1-0 to Phoenix Rising FC (2-1-1, 7 points) at StubHub Center Track & Field Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Los Dos put in perhaps their finest 45 minutes of the season in the first half of Wednesday’s match, dominating possession and limiting Phoenix’s chances. The team came closest to earning an advantage in the 6th minute, when João Pedro lobbed a through ball to Frank Lopez. Lopez did well to shield the ball and get a shot off, but his right-footed attempt was just wide of the post.
