Throw-in for Galaxy. Ibrahimovic's team can't react yet.

What happened there, Antuna? The winger tried to cross, but missed the ball.

Vela's team is way superior. The second goal looks closer than Galaxy getting their first one.

He scores off both legs.

It is evident that the move to LA was great for Carlos Vela.

The man born in Cancún expressed that his signing for LAFC renewed his joy of playing soccer and was a good decision for his personal life.

Once criticized as uncommitted, the Los Angeles F.C. star Carlos Vela looked like the best player in Major League Soccer this season. But as he and his team enter the playoffs, he will win (or lose) on his terms. https://t.co/B43mkmcTKf
