Well, the nine game undefeated streak in league play is over. Bruce Arena was denied his 200th MLS victory as the Galaxy fell to NYCFC in uninspiring fashion. Basically, the offense was non-existent.
Excellent-
Clement Diop: In his first MLS start, Diop performed well. The Los Dos product was unlucky on David Villa’s early goal and made several big stops to keep LA in the match.
Good-
Jelle Van Damme: Back to his hyper-focused self. Aggressive on both sides of the ball.
Nigel de Jong: Another solid outing from the defensive midfielder.
