After years of watching the LA Galaxy defense melt down (usually in the last 20 minutes of games), it’s absolutely shocking to start a game with the commentator saying the Galaxy are “one of the best defensive teams in the league.”
The Galaxy?
LA?
Yes, LA. This defense led by Derrick Williams kept a prolific Austin FC team to zero shots on goal for the first half. That was a rare sighting in previous years, and in this instance it was actually Séga Coulibaly who put in an absolute great shift. Coulibaly appears to have had a resurgence at the back, and the Williams and Coulibaly duo are winning games.
