LA Galaxy II (3-3-0, 9 points) return home to host Rio Grande Valley FC Toros (2-3-2, 8 points) at Dignity Health Sports Park Track & Field Stadium on Wednesday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. PT. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN+. Tickets to the match are available here.
LA Galaxy II are 4-0-3 all-time against Rio Grande Valley FC Toros and are 2-0-1 at Dignity Health Sports Park. The last time Los Dos hosted the Toros, the sides split points with a 1-1 draw. In the match, former LA Galaxy II striker Justin Dhillon recorded the equalizing goal for his side.
The Toros are coming off of back-to-back wins at home. In their most recent match, RGV FC doubled their goal total for the season in one night as they took on Las Vegas Lights FC. The match ended in a 5-2 victory for the home team. Although the Toros have experienced success at H-E-B Park, they are still looking for their first away win.
With a few strong performances at home this season, LA Galaxy II will look to take advantage of their upcoming schedule.
“We have four games in a row at home which we have to take advantage of,” said Head Coach Mike Muñoz. “We’ve had a little bit of a break to get guys recovered and back to full health. We’ll be ready on Wednesday.”
The Galaxy will look to rebound at home after a disappointing 2-0 loss on the road against San Antonio FC. Los Dos have only dropped three points at Dignity Health Sports Park this year during their season opener against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. In their most recent match at home, the Galaxy recorded a 4-2 win over then undefeated Tulsa Roughnecks FC. Ethan Zubak and Kai Koreniuk both tallied braces to help secure three points for their team.
