The LA Galaxy battle the Portland Timbers in the Round of 16 of the 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup at...a less than opportune time.
Yes, the blue white and gold have managed to sneak into Providence Park and eek out an Open Cup victory before, as Bruce Arena’s side did back in 2016. That being said, LA’s challenge is formidable.
What to watch
The seeds of doubt have been sown. It’s understandable to doubt the Galaxy’s chances in this contest. Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s team travel to Portland without midfield maestro Jonathan dos Santos, hat trick hero Uriel Antuna and Giancarlo Gonzalez to name a few, and it is still unknown whether Zlatan will participate.
