Joseph Paintsil and the Los Angeles Galaxy won convincingly, 5-2, against Club Tijuana on Thursday night. The Ghana native scored twice and recorded an assist. His three goal contributions were more than enough to give the 2024 MLS Cup champions a strong win in Phase One of the 2025 Leagues Cup.
Last year, the LA Galaxy did not fare too well in the League Cup. They went 1-1-1 and were ousted thanks to a 3-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders. That same MLS Western Conference foe dismantled the LA Galaxy's next opponent, 7-0, last week.
