LA on a losing streak...
Philadelphia v LA
Wednesday, May 15th, 19:30 EDT
It
looked like a goalless tie was on the cards in the Windy City until
Philly struck in the 75th minute, Jack McInerney's goal crucial at the
final whistle.
A
word must also go out to goalie Zac MacMath, whose impressive string of
saves kept a battling Union in the game for long stretches.
As
for LA, they dominated the first half of the clash in Vancouver, only
for up-and-coming youngster Russell Teibert to grab a couple and Darren
Mattocks to score a third. LA's sole response through Zardes was hardly
justified, with the visitors looking shell-shocked from the second the
Whitecaps took the lead.
Keep a close eye on Teibert: he's a future star we reckon.
Currently sat uncomfortably in fifth place in the West, LA really have to take something back home with them from this.
A
win would stretch the gap between the Union and sixth-placed Columbus
to a healthy six points, and pull them to within two of the Impact in
fourth.
Plenty to play for: should be good...
Philadelphia
are seeking their first home win in almost two months. On the plus side
they are coming back home on the back of an impressive if hard-fought
1-0 win at Chicago, and will be hopeful of causing a shock here.
The
Galaxy have big headaches right now, and are on a two-game losing
streak. The superstar reigning champs had better start producing soon,
or the playoffs will be beyond them...
