The LA Galaxy continued their red-hot form, staving off a Portland Timbers comeback for a 3-2 win Wednesday night at Providence Park.
LA’s three goals were all beauties, and they got started in the 15th minute through Homegrown midfielder Efrain Alvarez’s left-footed curler. He collected a Sebastian Lletget setup in the 18-yard box and picked out the top corner for a 1-0 lead.
Cristian Pavon then made it 2-0 in the 50th minute, finishing at the near post after a brilliant solo run. The Argentine forward collected on the left flank, cut inside and bagged his fifth goal of the year.
