Overview

  • The LA Galaxy fell 1-0 at home to the San Jose Earthquakes on May 29, marking their 16th straight MLS game without a win.
  • Ousseni Bouda scored the decisive goal in the 74th minute as San Jose snapped a four-game losing skid in the California Clasico.
  • Defending MLS Cup champions are hampered by injuries to key players including Riqui Puig and Marco Reus and have made depth-depleting roster moves under salary cap constraints.
  • Supporters voiced their frustration at Dignity Health Sports Park with chants of “We want better!” following the loss.
  • Upcoming fixtures against Real Salt Lake (May 31) and St. Louis (June 14) could see the Galaxy tie or break the MLS record for consecutive winless matches.
