Galaxy end 16-Match MLS Winless Streak Against Real Salt Lake

The Los Angeles Galaxy ended their historic 16-game winless streak in the 2025 MLS season with a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake, earning their first win since last year's MLS Cup championship. Lucas Sanabria and Joseph Paintsil scored their first goals of the season, while goalkeeper Novak Micovic secured the team's first shutout after four saves. The Galaxy's winless streak was tied for the third-longest in MLS history, and a loss or draw in this match would have set a new record for the longest single-season winless streak. Despite Real Salt Lake having more shots, the Galaxy capitalized on key chances and held their opponents scoreless for the seventh time this season. The Galaxy had struggled with offensive production and injuries, including the absence of key player Riqui Puig, which contributed to their poor start. The team hopes this victory provides momentum to turn around a season that began with numerous losses and draws, including a 7-0 defeat and other close losses.
