Match preview
Time is running out for LA Galaxy as they bid to sneak into the play-off places.
On Saturday, LA battled to a 1-1 draw with Nashville at Geodis Park.
Javier Hernández failed to convert a second half penalty, before Riqui Puig did score a spot-kick in the 99th minute in Tennessee.
Of all player who’ve taken 6+ penalties in MLS, there are 84, no one has a lower conversation rate than Chicharito’s 44.4%.
More importantly, that’s now three successive stalemates for Greg Vanney’s team who are three points and one place below the play-off positions.
The Galaxy’s last four games are against Colorado, San Jose, Real Salt Lake and Houston, all very much winnable fixtures.
So, can the record five-times MLS Cup champions start to build some momentum in British Columbia?
Vancouver Whitecaps meantime did recaputre the Canadian Championship in July, but 2022 has otherwise been a year of disappointment.
At the weekend, despite taking an early lead through Brian White, the Caps were beaten 3-1 by Colorado Rapids in Denver.
That made it three successive defeats for Vanni Sartini’s side who’ve only won two of their last 12 outings.
The Blue-and-White are down in 11th in the west, nine points below the dotted line.
So, LA Galaxy will feel this one at BC Place is must win.
