LA Galaxy were on the road and back in action this evening, taking on Western Conference foes Colorado Rapids. In the midst of a slump, and on the edge of a playoff position, Galaxy needed to get a win tonight to avoid falling further behind in a very tough West.
In what has become a startling trend, Galaxy found themselves down before the 20 minute mark. Rapids put on a long ball that opened up the LA defense just enough for Diego Rubio to find space and put on a shot from deep.
