Overview
- The Galaxy, playing Saturday at Q2 Stadium, beat Austin FC 2-1 on goals from Maya Yoshida in the first half and Erik Thommy late in the second.
- Goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski made five saves to protect the lead, including early stops that steadied LA when Austin pressed.
- The win ended LA’s four-match league drought and delivered their first away victory since October 2024.
- The result moved LA above Austin in the Western Conference as Austin’s winless run reached five matches and their attack again struggled to create clear chances.
- LA did it on two days’ rest after a 4-2 loss at Toluca in the regional CONCACAF Champions Cup, with the second leg due midweek and an MLS trip to FC Dallas to follow.
