Seven years ago, history was made by the Los Angeles Galaxy. On August 14, 2019, this wasn't just any ordinary win, but it was one that proved to have an impact on the MLS Western Conference standings.
The LA Galaxy finished the 2019 MLS regular season with the fifth seed at 51 points. The Portland Timbers and Dallas FC ended up being just points away from them in the West.
The 2-0 shutout victory for the LA Galaxy against Dallas FC helped their playoff positioning. Had it not been for Dallas's 2-0 win against the Galaxy on Saturday, March 9, 2019, Zlatan and his teammates would have opened up the season 8-1 in their first nine games.
