The Los Angeles Galaxy played down, 1-0, most of the game until the late heroics of one of their newcomers.
The two teams that squared off in back-to-back MLS Cup Finals in 2011 and 2012 finally took the field against one another again. Their second meeting of the season was rescheduled in late July due to the weather and conditions on the field in Houston that made it unsafe for players to play.
Thus, the league had stepped in and rescheduled for the LA Galaxy to visit the Houston Dynamo on this weekend.
