CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy advanced to the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals for the third consecutive season with a 2-0 victory over Sacramento Republic on Wednesday evening at the StubHub Center Track and Field Stadium.
Ariel Lassiter and Bradford Jamieson IV provided the goals as Los Angeles took another step toward their third U.S. Open Cup trophy.
The visitors began the match on the front foot repeatedly threatening the Galaxy back four. Sacramento nearly got on the board first in the 18th minute when Tyler Blackwood deftly turned past a Galaxy defender and launched a shot that was saved by goalkeeper Jon Kempin.
