The LA Galaxy are returning to face La Maquina in U.S. Open Cup play after almost a two week break due to international tournaments around the world. The team will be looking to spark a run towards the Lamar Hunt trophy in this fourth round match. This is not an average amateur club in La Maquina.
The team has had success in the U.S. Open Cup as they have won the trophy twice before in their history. The Galaxy claimed the trophy in 2001 and in 2005 and they were runner-ups in 2002 and 2006. They are 27-15-1 all time in the Lamar Hunt tournament.
