The LA Galaxy officially opened their preseason with a stalemate, drawing TFC on a frigid Saturday night in Carson.
The opening 45 minutes went pretty much as you’d expect. LA’s starting eleven were half a step slow to the ball and struggled to combine in the final third, but the ideas were there. Defensively LA set up with a two man block of Jonathan dos Santos and Servando Carassco shielding center backs Diego Polenta and Daniel Steres with the fullbacks pushed up. Deployed as a left back, Jorgen Skljevic aggressively bombed up and down the sideline and combined well with new loan signing Uriel Antuna, who also had a solid showing.
