A miserable 2017 campaign for the Galaxy ended in failure Sunday, as a hungry FC Dallas fighting for a playoff spot decimated LA 5-1 at Toyota Stadium.
The Galaxy couldn’t have gotten off to a better start when Romain Alessandrini curved a corner kick into the area and Michael Ciani got free centrally to put away a header two minutes into the match with relative ease.
After a bright opening, LA were unable to maintain the momentum and eventually FC Dallas nabbed a pair of goals right before halftime: Ronald Lamah smashed a close-range shot home in the 37th minute, then four minutes later Matt Hedges ghosted into the box to redirect a poor Clement Diop rebound into the net.
