LA Galaxy End Five-Game Winless Streak with 2-2 Draw Against LAFC

The LA Galaxy and LAFC played to a 2-2 draw in the 25th edition of El Tráfico at Dignity Health Sports Park, with Marco Reus scoring both goals for the Galaxy, including a crucial game-tying free kick in the 87th minute. Despite the draw, the Galaxy extended their winless streak to 14 matches, the worst start in franchise history and for any reigning MLS champion, while LAFC remained unbeaten since April 5. LAFC's goals were scored by Denis Bouanga and Nathan Ordaz, with Bouanga marking his seventh goal in seven games. The match was marked by intense midfield battles and strong performances, particularly from Galaxy players Cerrillo and Sanabria. The Galaxy had the lead early on but LAFC equalized quickly and later took the lead, only for Reus to secure the draw late in the game. The result underscored the fierce rivalry and unpredictable nature of the El Tráfico matches, which average 4.3 goals per game historically.
