All good things come to an end.
The Galaxy fell to LAFC Thursday night at Banc of California Stadium and are now out of the 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto opted for the same starting XI that pulled off the away victory at Minnesota United.
And the Galaxy looked comfortable in the opening ten minutes or so. It appeared LAFC were content with handing LA possession and pouncing on the counter-attack. In the 16th minute, their patience paid off when a Diego Polenta turnover led to an easy finish for Carlos Vela.
