The Galaxy hope the momentum of a late comeback victory over the New England Revolution carries over Saturday when they face the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium.
The Galaxy fell behind 2-0 during the July 14 match at New England and trailed 2-1 entering stoppage time. With both teams down to 10 men, Dave Romney tied the score before Chris Pontius scored the game-winner for the Galaxy.
It was the sixth consecutive MLS game without a defeat for the Galaxy (8-7-4), who entered playoff territory by moving up to sixth place in the Western Conference.
Before the victory over the Fire, the Union (7-9-3) had struggled to find goals, scoring only 21 in 18 MLS games.
