LA returns home riding high off of a 4-3 comeback win against Portland Timbers 2. After a slow start, the Galaxy found themselves down 2-1 at the midway mark. But after a quick strike in the 47th, Galaxy II exploded for two more unanswered goals, grabbing a 4-2 lead in the 60th. That surge of offense proved to be too much for the Timbers and the Galaxy escaped Portland with three points.
After striking back to back in last week’s matchup, Adrian Vera now has notched four goals on the season, leaving him one goal behind leader Justin Dhillon(5). Vera has managed to score four goals on only eight shots this season, posting an impressive 50% conversion rate on attack.
