New York, May 4 (EFE) .- The La Galaxy, current champion of the MLS Cup and the most laureate team in the history of the League, fell this Sunday 1-0 against Sporting Kansas City and extended its terrible start of the season, in which it still does not know the victory after eleven games.
Eight losses and only three draws is the frightening balance of the Galaxy, which places him as a west conference with 3 points.
The Angels have accused a lot of the absence of Spanish Riqui Puig, seriously injured since the end of last season and has not yet debuted in this campaign.
They were expected to suffer without Puig, which is the soul and heart of the team, but no one anticipated such a disastrous season of those led by Greg Vanney.
Tonight’s game was another example of the enormous frustration of a set that nothing goes well and that he could not beat a Sporting Kansas City who was a penultimate of the West with only 7 points (now 10).
Perhaps the best sample of the Galaxy crisis was the goal that fit this Sunday: a goal in the door of Maya Yoshida after a center in an harmless appearance of Sporting Kansas City.
That autogol opened the way tonight to an amazing statistical anecdote for Sporting Kansas City, which took the victory against the Galaxy without making a single shot (on the door or outside) throughout the match.
In this sense, the Kansas team ended the victory in its pocket in an incredible way despite its metric of 0.0 expected goals (XG).
Instead, the galaxy took the weight of the encounter and tried everything without any fortune. He dominated possession (64.7 %), made 11 shots (one on the door), threw 12 corners and ended with 1.9 expected goals but earned him absolutely anything.
To worsen the situation further, the Brazilian Gabriel Pec and Joseph Paintsil, extremes of the Galaxy and two very important names of his template, were injured in the second half.
The calendar will not give any respite to Galaxy since this was the first of a series of three games in a row. After Kansas City they will visit the New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union.
His return home will not be simple since he will face Los Angeles FC (LAFC) in the Angelino derby.
After eleven days of the MLS, the Vancouver Whitecaps are west leaders with 26 points while Columbus Crew is in front of the east with 24. EFE
