“The stage was set” quipped Daniel Steres following their dominating 3-2 victory Friday night over LAFC which keeps the LA Galaxy undefeated vs. their cross-town rivals in four tries.
There’s lots of credit to go around. Guillermo Barros Schelotto got the big calls right and drew up a clever game plan the team executed to near perfection. The back line was immense. Favio Alvarez proved his worth and showcased his playmaking ability. Ibra himself scored a perfect hat trick with three brilliant strikes.
That was the easy part. The trick was getting inside his opponent’s heads.
