Welcome to the first LA Galaxy game of the 27th season, and a good one since the Galaxy got not only three points at home, but a clean sheet (!), two things that were near mirages down the back stretch of 2021.
The game started inauspiciously, with Raheem Edwards repeatedly getting spanked down the left, and Séga Coulibaly wandering around on skates. In the first twenty minutes it looked like this game was going to end 4-0 for the road side. However, Edwards locked down his flank halfway through the first half with some help from a backtracking Cabral, and the Galaxy won the possession battle.
