“Don’t overreact”.
That little bit of advice from my friend The Weeknd during my morning drive is an apt description of how Galaxy fans should ultimately feel after LA collapsed at the death vs. FC Dallas in the Open Cup.
Look, there’s no getting around it, the Galaxy gave the match away. Giving up two goals off a pair of corner kicks in the final five minutes of extra time was a heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, morale-sapping experience.
Bruce Arena and the team said as much postgame. Baggio Husidic called the defeat “the lowest point”. And LA had their chances, especially in the first half.
