After avoiding the near-upset in their latest U.S. Open Cup match, LA Galaxy were back at home and ready for MLS action against FC Dallas. The two teams came into the match even on points (19), and at third and fourth place respectively, so this was an early chance for the G’z to separate themselves among the top of the table. Unfortunately, it was the visitors who came out firing and got off to a big lead early. One they wouldn’t relent, beating the Galaxy 1-3.
Starts to matches haven't been kind to Galaxy over the last month, with the team slipping back into old habits with slow starts to matches.
