Even when they don’t lose, the Galaxy can’t win.
Winless through six games of their MLS season, marking the worst start in franchise history, the Galaxy turned their focus to the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Tuesday, playing Mexico’s Tigres UANL to a 0-0 tie at Dignity Health Sports Park.
The two-leg quarterfinal playoff will conclude next week in Monterrey, Mexico. But despite the scoreless draw, the Galaxy suffered a big loss when their captain and center back, Maya Yoshida, limped off with an apparent hamstring injury late in the first half.
Yoshida, who led MLS in minutes played while guiding the Galaxy to their sixth league title last season, went down behind the play in the 29th minute and immediately grabbed at his leg.
