LA Galaxy II news and notes
Current record: 3-9-2, 11pts
The Galaxy II rallied strongly in the second half, but fell 3-2 to Sacramento Republic FC last Sunday night at the StubHub Center Track and Field Stadium.
After falling into a three-goal deficit in the first half, Los Dos’ Justin Dhillon and Adrian Vera found the net after the break, but the hosts were unable to complete the comeback.
Dhillon’s goal was his team-leading fourth of the season, with the 22-year-old currently averaging 127.2 minutes per goal this season.
Los Dos have yet to record back-to-back victories this season, and have not won at home since the opening game of the season on March 25 against Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2.
