Packed ScheduleSaturday’s MLS Regular Season match against Charlotte FC marked the fifth match in the span of 14 days for the LA Galaxy, an average of a match played every 2.8 days. During the month of May, the LA Galaxy will have played eight games across all competitions in the span of 26 days, an average of a game played every 3.3 days. Had it not been for the performance of goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina, Charlotte could have easily fallen behind in the first half. While BC Place is no easy place to play, the ‘Caps have picked up more points on the road than at home this year, with their only two defeats both coming on home turf. Austin will look to continue that trend and earn their second road result of the year in the Pacific Northwest, following a scoreless draw vs. Seattle back in March. Brian White and Ryan Gauld are forming a formidable duo up top.
LAFC Officially Signs Inaugural Special Olympics Unified Team
In nine matches played across all competitions dating back to April 22, LA holds a record (10 GF, 13 GA). Vancouver is off to a hot start to the season with a record, having most recently drawn 1-1 away to New York Red Bulls last Saturday. The attack has been the difference maker thus far, as the Whitecaps are currently the only team in MLS to have scored in every match. Their +8 goal difference is tied with Real Salt Lake for second best in the league, two behind Inter Miami CF. The second half saw both teams get chances. The Galaxy and Hernandez were close, but the game changed in the 76th minute when Charlotte just missed a goal that would have given them the lead.

We're just under an hour away from the LA Galaxy vs. Charlotte FC game kicking off at Dignity Health Sports Park. Both teams will go out looking for victory. Who will make it tonight?
The next three players are considered key to the LA Galaxy's offensive attack and it is likely that any of them could score in the game against Charlotte FC. The Mexican player Javier Hernández (#14) or better known as “El Chicharito” is the team's creative, his ability to control the ball and generate plays have been of great value to his team. He scored two goals in the last match against Charlotte FC, in 33 games played he had 17 goals and three assists, this made him the top scorer and fifth top assister for the team last season. Midfielder Ricard Puig (#6) is another very important on-court play dealer, he is the team's second highest assister last season, generating 5 assists in 8 starts and 1 coming off the bench.

Lastly, 22-year-old striker Dejan Joveljic (#99) was the team's second highest scorer with 10 goals in 31 games coming off the bench. Dejan at his young age has achieved a lot in the team, he is a very important substitute who seeks to be a starter in the team and it is very likely that we will see him scoring in the game. The three players are considered key to Charlotte FC's offensive attack and will be of paramount importance in their ability to win. Another player is Jaylin Lindsey (#24), she plays the defense position, has 4 assists in 10 games played and is a key man in case the game gets too close. Last game against Orlando City SC he assisted a goal and is a fundamental piece in generating dangerous plays for Charlotte FC.
Right after Charlotte's Christian Fuchs and Benjamin Bender couldn't convert chances -- Fuchs' shot saved and Bender hitting the post -- the Galaxy countered quickly. Alvarez struck from 20 yards out for what would be the game winner. The teams go to halftime and the score is LA Galaxy 0-0 Charlotte FC. Julián Aude (LA Galaxy) left footed shot from outside the box misses to the left following a corner.

Finally, forward Karol Swiderski (#11) with 3 goals is the second highest scorer and is expected to appear a lot in the match. They had a weak start to the season, it is expected that they can improve during the tournament and advance to the postseason. Saturday's game is important to move up in the general table. Their goal this year is to qualify among the first 7 places in order to advance to the postseason and therefore they must win as many games as possible. Their last game was on May 20, 2023 and resulted in a 3-0 loss against D.C.
