Michael Ciani had a less than stellar debut as the Galaxy were comprehensively defeated 4-0 by a Toronto FC side missing Sebastian Giovinco and Jozy Altidore Saturday night at the StubHub Center.
LA had their first dangerous chance in the 16th minute when Jonathan dos Santos blasted a cannon from 35 yards away that just zipped above the crossbar. Not too long afterwards, Jon Kempin did well to deny an open Victor Vasquez blast outside the 18.
However, the Galaxy would concede off a broken play: While LA were organizing the wall during a routine free kick, Vasquez lobbed a quick shot that smashed the left goalpost before Drew Moor got to the ball first and re-directed a diving header past Kempin.
