Los Angeles Galaxy With the former BVB professional Marco Reus, a negative record in the Major League Soccer has cracked and threatens to set a further historical low value. Actually, the project defended the title over the current season, instead the Californians with the native of Dortmund have to win the next game, so as not to stand up as the weakest team in the history of the North American league in this regard.
Reus and colleagues lost 0-1 (0-0) against the San Jose Earthquakes on the 16th matchday on Thursday morning. In addition to four draws, it was the twelfth defeat for Galaxy. The 2-1 win in the MLS Cup final against RB New York in early December was the last victory to date. Not to win 16 games in a row within one season had only happened once Houston Dynamo with a winless series from May to September 2021.
The unattractive series from Galaxy with a view to the regular leagueapse is even longer. Galaxy had already lost the last MLS game 2024 before the subsequent playoff tournament, making the 16 games lasting without a winless series of the current MLS season now-across the season-even 17 games. The cross -season negative record of the league is without victory in 18 games in a row. Real Salt Lake City from August 2005 to May 2006 and Colorado Rapids from July 2014 to April 2015 had set this brand. Galaxy would reach the 18-game brand across the season if there is no victory against Salt Lake next Sunday. Within a season, the 17 -winning games would be a record.
Note on statistics: In 1999, today’s RB New York, then metro stars, had a series, in which even 19 games did not win after 90 minutes. However, a winner was previously determined by shootout in a draw, which is why the New York series cannot appear in the transfer market statistics.
Reus against San Jose hurt – “doesn’t look good”
At the Galaxy defeat against San Jose-one of the two best scorers in the team with three goals and three assists-had to be replaced in injuries to worse. The former DFB player went off the pitch in the 59th minute after sitting on the lawn without any recognizable influence of an opponent. “It doesn’t look good when a player goes to the ground without contact,” said coach Greg Vanney. He could not give details of the injury. Reus had to struggle with knee problems at the beginning of the season.
