The LA Galaxy were once the crown jewel of Major League Soccer, but that is not the case in 2017.
Los Angeles has struggled mightily after the departures of recognized names like Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan and Bruce Arena. Head coach Curt Onalfo was fired in late July and former Columbus Crew SC champion Sigi Schmid was brought back to the Galaxy.
Now LA comes to Columbus, sitting in ninth place in the Western Conference, 11 points out of a playoff spot.
The Galaxy enter this game without a win in the team’s last eight matches, so this is an opportunity for Crew SC.
