The LA Galaxy touted their game on Sunday against the Seattle Sounders as effectively a "must-win" game, and they pulled through on that mandate, downing the Sounders 3-0 at StubHub Center.
The teams, in opposing form in recent weeks, looked very different than they have in recent weeks in terms of their performances. In the end, LA, under interim manager Dom Kinnear, put in an assured performance to take a massive three points.
Ola Kamara drew a penalty from Brad Smith nine minutes in, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic stepped up to score the spot kick to give the Galaxy an early lead.
