LA Galaxy claimed a 2–0 victory at Seattle Sounders FC in an MLS encounter where clinical finishing proved decisive. Despite dominating territorially with 15 shots, the Sounders struggled to convert their opportunities, registering only 5 on target and generating 1.53 xG from their 4–2–3–1 setup. LA Galaxy, operating in a 4–1–4–1 formation, were far more efficient: Gabriel Pec opened the scoring as the visitors netted twice from just 9 attempts and 2.24 xG. The Galaxy's goalkeeper was tested moderately, with post-shot xG conceded of 1.89 offsetting a marginal -0.11 goals saved above xG, suggesting the backline held firm when needed. Seattle's profligacy—particularly their inability to convert from a 15-shot volume—proved costly in a match where the visitors' superior clinical edge determined the outcome. The result extends LA Galaxy's recent momentum against a Sounders side left to rue missed chances.
