Marco Reus and Los Angeles Galaxy suffered another defeat – in the fifth minute of stoppage time and despite taking the lead. Meanwhile, Inter Miami fought back to earn a draw in a six-goal thriller.
Lionel Messi kicked off a successful comeback for Inter Miami in the MLS with a direct free kick. Miami fought back to earn a 3-3 draw at Philadelphia Union thanks to late goals. Messi scored in the 87th minute, and Venezuelan Telasco Segovia (90+5) scored the late equalizer.
Marco Reus and Los Angeles Galaxy, on the other hand, suffered another defeat. The former Dortmund player’s team lost 2-1 to San Diego FC in front of 30,114 spectators. Reus set up Diego Fagundez for the 1-0 lead in the 40th minute, but San Diego responded promptly through Luca de la Torre (41st minute) and late in stoppage time through Hirving Lozano (90+5).
“That’s brutal and disappointing,” said coach Greg Vanney, looking ahead to the upcoming ‘California Clasico’ against San Jose Earthquakes: ‘We have to pick ourselves up again.’ Once again.
Reus scored his fourth assist and seventh point in his tenth appearance in the regular MLS season. However, given his team’s horror season, the joy is unlikely to be too great. With eleven defeats from 15 games, Los Angeles is bottom of the Western Conference. Galaxy is the only team in the entire MLS yet to win a game.
