t took some doing, but the LA Galaxy managed to cough up a stunning 4-3 home loss to the last-place Vancouver Whitecaps at Dignity Healty Sports Park on Sunday, potentially dealing a hammer blow to the Galaxy's prospects of a high seed in the Western Conference bracket of the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs.
Whitecaps center back Doneil Henry gave the visitors a shock early lead, beating Diego Polenta to Inbeom Hwang's corner-kick delivery to the back post and bundling it past Matt Lampson. The Galaxy responded within minutes, renewing the now-familiar Cristian Pavon-Zlatan Ibrahimovic connection on a quick transition as the Argentinean ran at Jasser Khmiri and centered for his superstar Swedish teammate to finish.
