LA Galaxy 1-0 Club América, the Eagles fall in friendly | OneFootball

América falls by the narrowest margin in its visit to LA Galaxy in a friendly match.

This was América’s starting XI: Rodolfo Cota, Miguel Vázquez, Ramón Juárez, Kevin Álvarez, Cristian Borja, Erick Sánchez, Alan Cervantes, Raphael Veiga, Alexis Gutiérrez, Isaías Violante, and Henry Martín.

11′ América escapes – The LA Galaxy player went completely alone against Rodolfo Cota, but the América goalkeeper won the one-on-one.

24′ LA Galaxy goal – A cross from Reus that Cristian Borja fails to clear properly is taken advantage of by Joseph Paintsil to score the first goal of the match.

30′ América comes close! – A free kick taken by Raphael Veiga goes just wide of the opponent’s goal.

40′ Veiga misses the clearest chance! – Raphael Veiga found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper with the option to square it to a teammate in the middle, but he chose to shoot and ended up hitting it straight at the keeper.

A very even first half, with both teams sharing possession and creating a few chances, although with the low intensity these friendly matches usually have.

57′ América comes close! – A shot from outside the box by Veiga is tipped away by the opposing goalkeeper.

61′ Substitution – On: Dagoberto Espinoza – Off: Alexis Gutiérrez.

71′ Another one for América! – A shot by Dagoberto is saved by the goalkeeper, leaving a rebound in the box, but they could not take advantage of it.

América was much better in the first half, with Isaías Violante and Raphael Veiga creating several scoring chances; but they were unable to finish the chances they created.

Las Águilas ended up falling to LA Galaxy, but the second half left very positive feelings ahead of the Apertura 2026, which will begin next Saturday.

With this, the team concludes its preseason with victories over Trival Valderas, Jaiba Brava, and tonight’s defeat.
