VANCOUVER, B.C. – It wasn't pretty, but they'll take it.
The depleted LA Galaxy went to Vancouver and picked up a well-earned point thanks to an organized defensive performance by Sigi Schmid’s squad.
The Galaxy played Vancouver Whitecaps FC to a scoreless draw on Saturday evening at BC Place thanks to a stout defensive showing from the visitors. Despite missing several key players on both sides of the ball, the Galaxy were organized and held Vancouver at bay to pick up their first draw of the 2018 season.
To fill in the gaps, Schmid opted for a 3-5-2 formation, forcing the Whitecaps to break down a Galaxy defense that dropped numbers behind the ball.
