Riding a three-match winning streak and possibly getting reinforcements in attack, the Los Angeles Galaxy go for a Southern California "El Trafico" sweep of Los Angeles FC on Sunday night when the teams meet in Carson.
Though LAFC (3-2-3) did record a 6-2 victory over the Galaxy (3-3-2) in group play in Orlando during MLS Is Back, the five-time MLS Cup champions avenged that defeat with a 2-0 victory at the Banc of California Stadium Aug. 22. That win sparked Los Angeles' current win streak, which included back-to-back 3-2 victories over San Jose and Portland.
Efrain Alvarez, Cristian Pavon, and Joe Corona accounted for the Galaxy's goals, with Corona hammering home a shot into the upper corner on 71 minutes to restore a two-goal lead.
