It just wasn’t the Galaxy’s afternoon.
A heavy-legged LA side without Jonathan dos Santos took a double sucker punch right before the half, giving up two fatal goals in quick succession before falling to New York City FC 2-0 Saturday afternoon end the Galaxy’s perfect home record.

With Jona unable to play and Favio Alvarez still waiting for his paperwork to clear, the LA Galaxy fielded an interesting 3-5-2 formation with Uriel Antuna alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic up top.
The formation was a disaster: LA were pinned back by an aggressive attack, unable to advance the ball nor possess the ball in midfield.
