Montreal, Canada -- Third time isn't the charm for the LA Galaxy. LA had a player sent off for the third straight game in a 2-2 away draw with CF Montréal on Saturday, August 22, 2026.
On Saturday, August 22, 2026, LA Galaxy faced CF Montréal in an away match that ended in a 2-2 draw. This marked the third consecutive game in which the Galaxy had a player receive a red card, a troubling trend for the team. Head Coach Greg Vanney expressed his concern, stating that it's rare for a team to experience such a sequence of disciplinary issues, especially within a week.
The first goal of the game came from Daniel Rios for Montréal in the 16th minute, followed by an equalizer from Ruben Ramos Jr. just four minutes later. The Galaxy's Captain Maya Yoshida then scored a remarkable backheel goal off a set piece corner kick, giving the Galaxy the lead.

Despite the disadvantage, Montréal's striker Prince Osei Owusu capitalized on the advantage, scoring a goal in the 68th minute to tie the game at two. LA Galaxy's goalkeeper Marcinkowski made a crucial save to prevent Hirving Lozano from scoring a potential winning goal. The Galaxy's Head Coach Vanney expressed disappointment but acknowledged the team's effort and positive performance throughout the match.
