LA Galaxy MLS playoff race
Entities: Dignity Health Sports Park · Carson, California · LA Galaxy · Greg Vanney · FC Dallas
Overview
In mid‑July, the LA Galaxy hosted crosstown rivals LAFC in the El Tráfico derby, a sell‑out match that saw both Western Conference teams within four points of each other. The Galaxy entered the game looking to solidify their playoff positioning, while LAFC aimed to maintain its lead.
Two weeks later, the Galaxy traveled to Carson to face FC Dallas. After a winless stretch of four games, the Galaxy had slipped to 11th place, just two points shy of a playoff spot, while Dallas sat fifth and five points ahead of LA. Injuries continued to trouble the Galaxy’s attacking options, making the matchup a pivotal effort to stay in contention.
The two snapshots trace the Galaxy’s shift from a closely contested rivalry game to a critical fight for points as the regular season draws toward its climax.
