Just days after a 1-1 draw at home in their return to action, LA Galaxy were at it again. Same place, different opponent, and competition. It was US Open Cup quarterfinals action on display, with the team up against a tough Sacramento Republic FC side. The two teams didn't disappoint, going toe-to-toe in what was ultimately a magical night for the USL side as they beat Galaxy on the road, 2-1.
Sacramento knew they had a tough task ahead of them, so there was no point in wasting any time. They got the opening goal, and took the lead behind Roro Lopez in just the third minute of the match.
