After a testy twenty minutes to start the game which was all Sporting KC, the LA Galaxy finally decided to provide midfield pressure (and stopped the panicked bootball to no one) and grew into the game. But once again unforced defensive errors did them in, not once, but twice in a 2-0 loss on Wednesday.
Greg Vanney just can’t seem to stop the defense from being porous. That’s partially on the players. Niko Hämäläinen can’t close down a man to save his life, and Séga Coulibaly constantly looks like a defensive error waiting to happen.
