The LA Galaxy overcame an early deficit to secure a 3-2 victory against Minnesota United on Sunday, ending a five-game road winless streak. The match, held at Minnesota’s home ground, marked a notable performance for the Galaxy, who registered their third win in the last 12 games and scored more than two goals for the first time since late February.
LA Galaxy fell behind early but rallied in the second half, spurred by substitute Marco Reus, who entered the match in the 59th minute. Reus played a pivotal role in the comeback, first assisting the equalizing goal by Joao Klauss in the 76th minute. Reus delivered a precise long pass from the left flank, threading it through multiple defenders to Klauss, who skillfully redirected the ball with a header. This goal was significant for Klauss, marking his first since March 22 and only his second appearance following foot surgery.
Just four minutes later, Reus capitalized again, scoring the go-ahead goal in the 80th minute. Receiving a long ball from Lucas Calegari, Reus positioned himself centrally in the box and deftly redirected the pass with his left foot, securing the match-winning goal.
With this win, LA Galaxy improved their record to 8-10-9, accumulating 33 points in the current Major League Soccer season. Minnesota United, meanwhile, fell short despite an early lead, unable to withstand the Galaxy’s late surge. The result highlights the Galaxy’s capacity to contend offensively when key players return to form and contribute decisively off the bench.
