The LA Galaxy lost their first game since the local return to play of the 2020 MLS season Saturday, falling 2-0 to the Colorado Rapids at Dignity Health Sports Park.
The game had considerable echoes of a March match against the Vancouver Whitecaps, going down to a team they had expected to dominate, a Galaxy player picking up a red card in the final 15 minutes, and the attack too dulled to trouble their opponent on the night.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto went with a familiar group on the night to start, with Efrain Alvarez in the XI, Julian Araujo at right back again with Rolf Feltscher hurt, and Chicharito and Jonathan dos Santos on the bench to begin the match.
