The Galaxy won their third consecutive match, as they defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-0 at BC Place, keeping the home side winless on the season.
The first half was rather scrappy but the match started in a hectic manner. In the opening minute of the game, Jorgen Skjelvik fouled Lass Bangoura in the Galaxy box, and newcomer Ali Adnan stepped up to the spot for the Whitecaps. But his panenka attempt was far too soft and Galaxy goalkeeper David Bingham easily blocked the chance.
Inside the opening 20 minutes, Bingham was tested again, from the run of play, but made a strong save on Joaquin Ardaiz’s shot.
