Dejan Joveljic scored two of the Galaxy‘s four goals in the second half as they rallied from a two-goal halftime deficit for a 4-2 victory over LAFC in another thrilling edition of the El Tráfico rivalry Saturday night.
Joveljic put the Galaxy ahead 3-2 in the 67th minute with a backheel goal, completing a flurry of three goals in 14 minutes by the first-place club in this rivalry derby between the top two teams in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference.
“I’m proud of the guys, because they got punched in the mouth at the beginning, but responded really well,” Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said.
