Not an impressive start to the campaign
Coming to the MLS, LA Galaxy recently kicked off their new domestic campaign. They have played three matches so far and are yet to win any game. Greg Vanney’s side lost the opening match against FC Dallas as they were thrashed 3-1 by them.
The following two matches against Sporting KC and Vancouver were also a stalemate. The match against Vancouver could have gone out of their hand. However, Kelvin Leedrama’s strike before halftime helped them clinch a point.
