LA Galaxy increases its losing streak to four games

  /  autty

The absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the starting lineup didn't help Barros Schelotto's team as they add a new loss to its poor run.

Los Angeles Galaxy seems to be a sinking ship after adding its fourth consecutive loss, the second one at home against the Colorado Rapids, the worst team in the MLS as they had, before this game, eleven games in a row without winning.

Colorado made some moves in its coaching staff and brought Conor Casey to turn things up, and apparently, he did so, as the Rapids leave LA with a win over the team which was second in the Western Conference.

Galaxy arrived at this game with a critical setback, as the MLS disciplinary committee gave its star and captain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic a two-game suspension, leaving the LA side without his striker, and they did miss him, as Antuna and Alvarez failed to cover the Swedish absence, which was not an easy task.

The Rapids had luck at their side despite not being the better team of the field; however, Colorado did have the best man of the game, as Tim Howard stop every attempt made by Los Angeles and the former USMNT goalie showed his value under the box.

Colorado Rapids earned its first win of the season with the late goal made by Shinyashiki at the 82nd minute, while LA Galaxy got slapped with a new loss at home to increase its losing streak at four, and things don't look brighter for Barros Schelotto's squad since now they will visit Orlando City also without Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
