We had just two matches on this Sunday in MLS, as the attention shifted to New York City and Kansas City.
Scorers: Yoshida (OG) 13′
Reigning champions LA Galaxy extended their winless run in 2025 to 11 straight games after tasting defeat in Kansas City Sunday evening, despite SKC not taking a single shot in the 90 minutes.
Greg Vanney’s side were stung by an early Maya Yoshida own-goal in the opening 15 minutes, a wound they would never recover from.
Despite the early deficit, the Galaxy did dominate the run of play, seeing more than 70% of the possession and outshooting the hosts 11-0.
Yet while Sporting KC had nothing to offer going forward, the Galaxy could not find a way back into the match.
After 11 matches, the Galaxy remain bottom of the conference with three points.
NYCFC made a major statement in the Eastern Conference with a win over Supporters Shield chasing FC Cincinnati.
The hosts needed just a lone goal from Julián Fernández in the opening 10 minutes to see out the result, and what a goal it was.
While they needed some big Matt Freese saves in the dying embers of the affair, Pascal Jansen’s side did hold on and collect a massive victory to climb back into the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
