To say offense was at a premium in Saturday night’s game between the Galaxy and the Vancouver Whitecaps would be an understatement. It was positively nonexistent.
For only the third time in the MLS this season, two opponents combined to have one shot or fewer on target. The other two results were scoreless ties, the first March 28 between FC Dallas and the Seattle Sounders and the second April 11 between Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake.
The shutout also marked the first time the Galaxy was held without a shot on goal in more than three years, and the only time it has ever happened at home.
