In front of a sold-out crowd at Nippert Stadium, the LA Galaxy came to town and took all three points, beating FC Cincinnati 2-0.
The Galaxy hit Cincy with a pair of early goals, forcing the hosts to chase the game early. Emmanuel Boateng got his first of the season, a clinical finish into the bottom corner from just inside the 18-yard box.
Three minutes later, Favio Alvarez reacted quickest to a poor clearance and fired into the bottom corner to double the Galaxy's lead.
Sebastian Lletget was fit to start, returning from injury quicker than anticipated.
