The LA Galaxy head to Commerce City, Colorado needing to hold to a 1-0 advantage in order to move into the Western Conference Final.
Giovani dos Santos’ deflected goal in the 55th minute of the first leg has given the Galaxy plenty to hold onto at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, but it would be hard not to be concerned that, in a setting in which the Colorado Rapids have been so dominant, their opponent has the quality to get the result they need.
The Rapids have been far stronger defensively at home than on the road. In this MLS regular season, the Rapids conceded a league-low seven goals and went undefeated through the course of the season.
