LA Galaxy II news and notes
Current record: 1-2-0, 3pts
The LA Galaxy II fell for a second successive outing last Saturday night as Phoenix Rising FC rallied to win 2-1 for its first win of the new season.
Adonis Amaya had given the Galaxy II an early second-half lead, but two goals by Luke Rooney lifted Rising FC to victory in the final half-hour.
Los Dos goalkeeper Jon Kempin is currently tied for the league-high as he is averaging 5.3 saves per game alongside Portland’s Kendall McIntosh.
The Galaxy II could see the return of U.S. U20 international Hugo Arellano to the lineup after his return from the national team’s camp in London last week.
