LA Galaxy secured a 2-0 victory against the Atlanta United at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, with Marco Reus making a significant impact in his debut for the team. Reus assisted Riqui Puig for the game-winning goal in the 76th minute and scored one himself in the 85th minute. The win keeps the Galaxy at the top of the Western Conference and in second place in the Supporters Shield race.
Reus, who previously played for Borussia Dortmund in Germany, demonstrated his quality on the field with his performance. His debut showcased the deep roster of the Galaxy, which was further strengthened by his addition earlier in the month. Puig, who scored the first goal with a right-foot shot past Atlanta goalkeeper Guzan, will miss the next game due to a yellow card suspension, creating an opportunity for Reus to potentially receive more playing time.
The Galaxy dominated possession throughout the match, but it was Reus who provided the finishing touch needed to secure the victory. The game, the first MLS fixture for the Galaxy since July, showcased the team’s resilience and skill despite the break in play. The victory marked an important milestone for the Galaxy, with the team having previously only won one out of four previous matches against Atlanta United. Reus’ impressive performance in his debut bodes well for the team’s future success in the league.
