Ethan Zubak and Sebastian Lletget scored a goal in each half as the LA Galaxy earned a 2-0 El Trafico win over an LAFC squad that saw star Carlos Vela exit injured early in the second half Saturday at Banc of California Stadium.
It was in stark contrast to LAFC’s 6-2 victory at the MLS is Back Tournament last month.
Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez was signed in the offseason to be a central figure in the derby, replacing Zlatan Ibrahimovic who certainly made his mark.
