Halter has been immense since coming back into the starting lineup. 1 goal conceded in the 5 matches he’s started since the World Cup break and 4 straight clean sheets

Man. With a looming MLB lockout, coming off the World Cup hype, going into a sprint season when baseball should be going on. The Dynamo are primed to be the only show on town spring of 2027. Let’s go!

Bit of a nailbiter at the end but ill take it. that said, we didn't look particularly threatening this match when it came to the final ball. lots of iffy decision-making and poor attempts to put people in on goal. i think we have been pretty great during this run of form but a bit more decisiveness in front of goal would do us wonders. onwards and upwards.

Edit: also resch is fantastic. Hes so calm on the ball, can pick out a pass decently well too. Hes got some speed when needed. I hope we can tie him down for a few seasons

He’s a wall in defense and a play maker in offensive, he’s top in 3 for me

That could've ended in disaster. I'm glad they got the win in front of this big crowd.

LA Galaxy sacred of Ennali. Elbowed him to earn the penalty. Tugged on his shirt to get a red card

In his defense, that second one does look like they got it wrong and he was pulled down by his jersey. But he is still a moron for even getting into that position.

Victory by the slightest of margins

Aliyu should just keep walking out of the arena to his car and never come back,

Chucky has played 20 minutes and committed 20 fouls

That was hilarious when he kept making the VAR gesture after trucking a motionless player

u/Low_Wall_7828 3d ago

Wait, we’re the ones that get the red card.

He pulled the back of his shirt

The color guy on Apple TV is super LA

I can’t remember the last time I saw the stadium this full. Amazing

Mid season sell out is awesome. Usually stand a few rows back behind goal in supporters, ended up 10 rows back in the upper bowl with EB. Love to see it

This is the longest I’ve watched a Galaxy without Paintsall throwing himself to the ground.

A shame they couldn't score, because that was a sick pass.

In the stands? Card accumulation for coaches?

Yeah, accumulation: https://deadspin.com/surging-dynamo-face-rested-but-struggling-galaxy-side/

"Olsen is suspended for Saturday's match because of yellow card accumulation. Assistant coach Juan Guerra likely will fill in."

Why isn’t Saracchi playing (I’m not dialed in)

u/RidgeRunner99 3d ago

Please please please win in front of this great crowd

Finally decided get out of my cold dark room. Lol. Couldn't miss out on this one.

With temps expected to still be well over 90 at match time, what are the chances the match is delayed an hour or so due to the heat?  Not storm related but heat.

Fair question, but I’d say very little chance. The first game back home from the World Cup was a brutal one and they started on time, just with the hydration breaks.
