The Mexican club's Luka Romero and Agustín Palavecino scored the first two goals, both courtesy of giveaways in the Galaxy's midfield. Despite Troy Elgersma providing an assist and scoring the lone Galaxy goal, the young attacker's efforts were not enough to secure a win. LA Galaxy Head Coach Greg Vanney acknowledged the team's mistakes but remained optimistic about their upcoming matches.",
