The team from Los Angeles cannot muster up its strength in any way, either it is not physically ready, or the problem is hidden in something else, because how else can one explain two defeats in a row. It is worth recalling that the club was considered one of the contenders for the first line in Group F. Galaxy missed a great chance to win in the first leg against Portland when Chicharito missed a penalty in the 12th minute, after which the opponent took his head and scored twice. Javier Hernandez recovered at the end of the meeting, but that was not enough (1-2). Guillermo Barros Skelotto’s wards also lost in the Los Angeles derby, in addition massively (2-6). The team closed in their own half of the field, although it did not help either, because Diego Rossi and the company did their job.
Adrian Heath’s guys feel calm after two rounds of the group stage, since the team has four points and there is an opportunity to compete for the first line. Let’s remind that the loons showed character in the duel against Sporting (2-1), when in the last minutes they simply snatched the victory from the opponent and then shared points with Real Salt Lake (0-0). As you can see, Minnesota is counting on a ticket to playoffs, especially since there is a meeting with an outsider in Group D ahead. The club from the city of St. Paul will enter the field as a favorite and it is difficult to argue with that, because Colorado is now far from optimal shape.
