Orlando City FC 0-1 LA Galaxy: LA finally breaks its losing streak
Barros Schelotto's side finally got back to winning ways against Orlando City, thanks to an outstanding goal from Jonathan dos Santos.
Final Time | Orlando City 0-1 LA Galaxy, MLS
LA Galaxy went in to the match with one aim: to break their current losing streak but without Zlatan Ibrahimovic and with Nani leading Orlando City's attack the task at hand didn't look easy at all.
Orlando were looking to make it two wins in a row, but Jona dos Santos had a great night and opened the scoring with an outstanding strike from outside the area.
Galaxy therefore managed to break its losing streak while the Lions, despite having a great game, failed to find the back of LA's net and suffered their seventh loss of the season.
