Emanuel Reynoso, a must see player!
The Minnesota midfielder will seek to remain an important part of the team, this is one of the orchestrators of the offense and he comes to this duel after having started the championship in a great way with 2 goals and 2 assists, being the leader of the Eagles' offense . The most important thing for him is that the club begins to have more regularity on the pitch and better engage with Luis Amarilla and Bongokuhle Hlongwane.
How does the Minnesota get here?
The Minnesota team goes home to receive the Galaxy as tenth place in the MLS Western Conference with a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, to reach 14 points. The Royals will seek to take advantage of the duel against the Galaxy to try to climb positions in the table and get into a playoff position within the 7 that qualify for the next round. This season, the team maintains a good base led by Robin Lod, Emanuel Reynoso and Luis Amarilla, so the Minnesotans could be one of the teams that will fight for a ticket to the postseason and a difficult rival to beat.
Douglas Costa, a must see player!
El nuevo mediocampista del Galaxy llega como uno de los grandes refuerzos de la MLS y espera sumar su gran experiencia en la Liga. El brasileño llega para ser uno de los generadores a la ofensiva y se espera que muestre su desequilibrio y gran velocidad para ser referente del equipo. Douglas Costa arribó a préstamo proveniente del Gremio de Brasil y se espera que junto con Chicarito, sean la nueva gran dupla de la MLS, de momento, han generado 9 goles en 12 partidos, por lo que los números están cumpliendo sus expectativas. El volante brasileño no es un jugador de muchas anotaciones, pero es un gran asistidor y eso es lo que se espera de él en esta temporada, que sea un desequilibrante importante y ponga medio gol a sus compañeros, sin duda alguna, será grato verlo en la cancha.
How does the Galaxy get here?
The Los Angeles team began a new season with the expectation of reaching the postseason, after missing out on the MLS playoffs due to goal difference with Real Salt Lake the previous year. For this, the team was reinforced with Douglas Costa and hopes to have great solidity in its starting roster. The Brazilian arrives to team up with Chicharito Hernández up front and be the ones to guide the Angelenos offensively. Those led by Greg Vanney hope to have a season where injuries forgive them and allow them to have a full squad for as long as possible. At the moment, they are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 19 units, after 6 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses.
