CARSON, Calif. (AP) — The LA Galaxy’s Leagues Cup match with Club León has been pushed back one day to Wednesday night after the Mexican club had mechanical problems with its charter aircraft.
The Leagues Cup announced the decision Monday night, saying León’s preparations for the match were “significantly impacted” by the unspecified plane problem.
The Galaxy and León were scheduled to meet Tuesday night at the Galaxy’s Dignity Health Sports Park in suburban Los Angeles. The match is the clubs’ opener in the Leagues Cup, a summer tournament featuring every team in Major League Soccer and Liga MX.
Brian White scored in the second minute, Ryan Gauld added two first-half goals and the Vancouver Whitecaps breezed to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy.
LA Galaxy forward Javier “Chicharito” Hernández underwent reconstructive surgery on the ACL in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the year after being placed on the season-ending injury list.
CHICAGO (AP) — Just four players who appeared for the U.S. at last year’s World Cup are on a largely junior varsity roster announced Monday for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, including just one regular starter: goalkeeper Matt Turner.
All ticketholders can attend the match on Wednesday, the Galaxy confirmed.
