The LA Galaxy won their third consecutive game, as they defeated Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-0 at BC Place as part of MLS Friday Night on TSN, keeping the home side winless on the season.
The first half was rather scrappy but the match started in a hectic manner. In the opening minute of the game, Jorgen Skjelvik fouled Lass Bangoura in LA's box, and newcomer Ali Adnan stepped up to the spot for the Whitecaps. But his panenka attempt was far too soft and Galaxy goalkeeper David Bingham easily blocked the chance. Inside the opening 20 minutes, Bingham was tested again, from the run of play, but produced a strong save on Joaquin Ardaiz's shot.
