COG STUDIOS, Calif. — The LA Galaxy needed a response in Minnesota — and they got one.
Recording LIVE from Long Beach Beer Lab, Josh Guesman, Sophie Nicolaou and Kevin Baxter break down the Galaxy’s dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Minnesota United, a result that keeps LA firmly in the Western Conference playoff fight. After trailing 2-1 at halftime, the Galaxy found another gear in the second half, with Marco Reus and João Klauss coming off the bench and completely changing the match.
Reus delivered a superstar performance, while Klauss announced his return with a massive header. Their impact also raises some fascinating questions for Greg Vanney: Should Klauss return to the starting lineup? Could Kyogo Furuhashibecome even more dangerous against tired defenses? And has the Galaxy finally developed enough depth to change games from the bench instead of relying exclusively on their starting XI?
The guys also discuss Chucky Lozano, who continues to work, create fouls and make an impact but still has another attacking gear the Galaxy need to find. With Lozano recently called back into the Mexican National Team picture, his performances during the final stretch could also play an important role in determining his future with LA.
And what does this victory mean for the MLS playoff race? Seven games remain, the Galaxy are fighting around the playoff line, and their remaining schedule includes several direct Western Conference competitors. The panel works through the road ahead and debates whether this comeback could finally be the result that changes the direction of LA’s season.
Plus, Sergi Roberto and Joseph Paintsil could be getting closer to returning, Robert Taylor continues to make a case for his place in the lineup, and the discussion turns to which players have made the strongest cases for Galaxy Player and Defender of the Year.
It’s a lively Corner of the Galaxy postgame show recorded in front of Galaxy fans in Long Beach after one of LA’s biggest road victories of the season.
LA Galaxy 3. Minnesota United 2. Seven games remain — and the playoff race is very much alive.
