LA Galaxy Player Ratings vs. Chicago Fire
Greg Vanney not only sent out a defensive lineup with two defensive oriented midfielders, he actually had three! As a result, chances were hard to come by for the LA Galaxy, with Delgado and Leerdam both playing deep, leaving the midfield a bit open.
The Galaxy were happy the Chicago Fire didn’t take advantage of this defensive posture barring a couple of chances, and LA escaped with the hard-earned road point. That’s a fine result, even though it stopped an attack that looked pretty decent in recent weeks. The build-up still looks good as the Galaxy are making a concerted effort to build out of the back.
