The LA Galaxy suffered a 3-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field, leading to their elimination from the Leagues Cup in the Round of 32. Yeimar Gomez, Jackson Ragen, and Alex Roldan scored for Seattle in the first half, with Gabriel Pec netting a consolation goal for the Galaxy. The Sounders dominated early with two goals in the first seven minutes, both coming off corner kicks. Despite Pec’s efforts and a disallowed goal from Maya Yoshida, Seattle outshot LA 21-9. The Galaxy’s winless streak in Seattle now extends to nine trips.
Roldan’s spectacular strike in first-half stoppage time was a highlight of the match, showcasing his talent from distance. The Sounders will move on to face Pumas UNAM in the Round of 16 after their victory over Vancouver.
The Galaxy will now turn their focus back to MLS play, with a match against Atlanta United FC on August 24. The team will look to bounce back from their Leagues Cup exit and continue their push for success in the league.
The loss to Seattle serves as another setback in the Galaxy’s struggles at Lumen Field, a venue where they have found little success in recent years. Despite the defeat, the team will regroup and look to turn things around in their upcoming matches.
