Galaxy fall behind and can’t catch up in loss to Sounders

Leo Chu had a goal and an assist and Jordan Morris scored to lead the Seattle Sounders to a 2-1 win over the Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park on Saturday.

Trailing 2-0 at halftime, Galaxy dominated the second half and came into play when Jalen Neal scored his first MLS goal in the 63rd minute.

The Galaxy (0-2-3) continued to push against the Sounders (4-1-1) for the last 30 minutes of the game but couldn’t find the equaliser.

Douglas Costa made his debut in 2023 after missing the first four games with a hamstring injury. The Galaxy continued to be without Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, who is expected to feature in the team’s next game.
