The second half of this one didn’t match a wild first 45 (plus 10’!). Diego Fagúndez, Joseph Paintsil and Riqui Puig all found the net for LA, Kevin Cabral scored a revenge goal, and Cole Bassett pushed the score to 3-2 just before the break. Things calmed down from there though and the Galaxy woke up this morning in first place in the West.
Now, to be fair, they’ve played two more games than LAFC and one more than RSL, but full credit to them, they aren’t bowing out of this race. They seemed a bit cooked after their ugly loss to Dallas over the weekend, but even without Dejan Joveljic available, they bounced back here. It helps of course when have folks like Gabriel Pec making things happen. Pec didn’t score, but his run to set up Paintsil’s goal was top-shelf stuff. He has nine goals and 10 assists on the year now.
