Young Duo Scores as Galaxy Blank Rapids 3-0

A heavily rotated side showcased youth with JT Marcinkowski returning in goal ahead of Wednesday’s Leagues Cup semifinal.

Overview

  • Harbor Miller (7') and Elijah Wynder (55') netted their first MLS goals, with Gabriel Pec adding a 75th‑minute finish in Carson.
  • JT Marcinkowski made his first MLS appearance since 2023 and recorded one save in the Galaxy’s first league shutout since July 4.
  • Miki Yamane assisted the opening two goals and Marco Reus sprung Pec with a long ball for the third as late-entering regulars helped seal the result.
  • The victory snapped LA’s four‑match winless run and moved the defending champions to 4-16-7, while Colorado fell to 10-12-6 with a two‑game surge halted.
  • Los Angeles outshot the Rapids 17-12 and conceded only one shot on target as the club balances league play with a Leagues Cup semifinal on Aug. 27.
