LA Galaxy End Winless Streak with 3-0 Victory over Vancouver Whitecaps

The Los Angeles Galaxy secured a vital 3-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps, ending their three-game winless streak and improving their season record to 2-13-6. Joseph Paintsil was the standout player, scoring twice—including his first multi-goal MLS game—while Matheus Nascimento opened the scoring early on. The Galaxy dominated possession and shots, with notable contributions from Marco Reus and Gabriel Pec in setting up goals, and goalkeeper Novak Micovic making key saves. Despite the Whitecaps' strong position in the Western Conference, they struggled to find rhythm and finished the match with ten men after Jayden Nelson was sent off. This match also occurred amid significant supporter protests against the Galaxy's silence on recent immigration raids, with fan groups walking out and remaining silent during the game. The win marks the Galaxy's first since May 31, offering a much-needed morale boost for the defending MLS Cup champions.
