CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy head coach Sigi Schmid laughed when asked if he looked twice at the StubHub Center scoreboard Saturday night to make sure it read correctly. No one could have faulted him if he did.
The five-time MLS Cup champions had just shut out the Colorado Rapids 3-0 in front of a crowd of 17,683 for the team’s first home victory since a 2-0 win over Montreal on April 7, a span of almost five months. The Galaxy had gone 0-6-4 and been outscored 21-9 since then on their home turf.
But Saturday they put forth one of their better efforts this season, albeit against a club that has yet to win on the road (0-11-2).
