CARSON, Calif.(Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2015) – LA Galaxy II (11-7-3, 36 points) fell 2-0 to OKC Energy FC Tuesday night on the road at Taft Stadium in the final match of a three-game road swing.

Tuesday’s match between Los Dos and OKC Energy FC was originally scheduled for May 9 in Oklahoma City, but was postponed due to the threat of severe weather. It marked the second time the two sides faced off, with the last meeting ending in a 1-1 draw on July 5 at StubHub Center.
The hosts struck first when they opened the scoring behind a goal from Peter Toth. Toth followed up on a save from Galaxy II goalkeeper Clement Diop against USL goal-scoring leader Danni König before firing the loose ball into the back of the net to make the score 1-0.
In the 35th minute, Energy FC doubled the score behind a goal from Sebastian Dalgaard, who fired a one-touch shot from outside the 18 that found its way past Diop. Dalgaard got on the end of a ball from long range before launching the shot on goal with his right foot.
Los Dos spent the remainder of the match looking for a goal to answer, but were unable to score in Oklahoma City. The closest effort of the night came from team-leading goalscorer Ariel Lassiter midway through the second half. The forward almost put Galaxy II within one after running in behind the defense and chipping a ball over the opposing goalkeeper, but his shot fell just wide of net.
