LA Galaxy

For the first time in El Trafico history, Javier Hernandez and Carlos Vela are both expected to take the field in a new chapter of the young but fierce MLS ...

Even this season, while LAFC is unbeaten through its opening five matches, it's only kept a clean sheet in two of the five, and has hit three goals or more in the other three. Across the first 13 matches of the rivalry, a team has only kept a clean sheet in three of them, and three or more goals have been scored in nine of them. For the first time in an LA Galaxy vs. Up front, Kwadwo Opoku was sat last time out in favor of Cristian Arango's second start of the season, and that platoon will need sorting. Now, with each one healthy and in good early season form, the matchup is once again in the forefront of fans' minds. Chicharito has been beset by injuries his entire LA Galaxy career, only able to play against LAFC twice, and in both those matches Vela was sidelined.

The play was fully one-way in the final minutes, and LAFC found the equalizer in the 97th minute, as Blessing notched the equalizer during a mad scramble with the seconds ticking away. LAFC just do not bring it enough in El Trafico games — they can hold the upper hand on any other team in the league, and feel confident they can play their game, but against the Galaxy they wilt, time and again. Jose Cifuentes forced a save off Bond in the 65th minute from a sharp header, but LAFC struggled to get many chances even if they held the ball. Vela seemingly got the equalizer in the 28th minute, heading in Kellyn Acosta’s free kick, but it was immediately chalked up as offside. Diego Palacios nearly set up Jose Cifuentes for a tap-in in the opening minute, only for Galaxy goalkeeper Jonathan Bond to intercept the cross. At the same time, Carlos Vela had a near-miss goal and two goals chalked off for offside, in addition to the 97th minute equalizer by Latif Blessing getting called back, which is surely going to leave a sour taste in the mouth.

Javier Hernández y Carlos Vela se encontraron por primera vez en el derbi de Los Ángeles y ambos fueron protagonistas del partido de la Semana 6 de la MLS.

Ya sin CH14 en la cancha llegó la reacción del LAFC en una jugada en la que Vela protegió el balón, disparó y el portero le tapó, pero en el rebote apareció ‘Chicho’ Arango para empujar el balón y poner el descuento en el tanteador que reencendió las acciones y los ánimos en la gradas. La malaria no terminó para los de oro y negro en el segundo tiempo, pues Vela volvió a mandar la pelota al fondo de las redes pero otra vez se levantó la bandera y se anuló la acción por lo que se mantenía la ventaja de los de blanco. Instantes después fue el propio Vela el que mandó la pelota al fondo tras el cobro de un tiro libre que desvió con la cabeza, pero el abanderado señaló fuera de juego y el VAR lo respaldó en una polémica decisión, pues fueron milímetros por los que el mexicano estaba adelantado.

“They’re derby matches and both teams want to impose themselves on the other; I thought we did so early in the game,” said Vanney. “[Later] I thought we were a little too passive and we were inviting them on top of us. “We're fighting for the pride of the city. But nobody wants to give an inch in these games and that's a big part of it.” It felt like the game was too much in the vision of how they want to see the game. But we deserved the win, we get the three points. “Yeah, we know we cannot take out how the game ended. you always have to be ready, you always have to have full commitment.” “I don't want to take out the credit of this win because it was a VAR decision. I want that to be the narrative,” said Chicharito postgame. Really, a game of two halves.” “I also feel Brian [Rodriguez]’s injury put us off rhythm for a few minutes, but we did get ourselves back into the game and the effort in the second half was very good, I think our best half of the season, created a lot of chances, and we created chances in the first half too. These games are so high intensity; the last 15 minutes I was dead.
