After winning just one of the first five MLS meetings (D3 L1), the Galaxy have won their last three matches against CF Montréal. Montreal has managed just one point in four visits to Carson, a scoreless draw in September 2015.
The Galaxy trailed 3-0 at halftime against Minnesota on Wednesday, the second time in LA’s last five home matches that it trailed by three goals at the half (also vs. FC Dallas on May 14). The Galaxy trailed by three goals at halftime in just one of their previous 301 home MLS matches (incl. playoffs) dating back to 2004.
CF Montréal’s 2-1 win at Seattle on Wednesday was their fourth away win of the season, equaling a club record for away wins in a regular season. After losing its first two away matches of the season, Montreal has lost only one of its last seven on the road (W4 D2).
Dejan Joveljic scored off the bench for the third straight match in the Galaxy’s 3-2 loss to Minnesota. Joveljic is the 11th player in MLS history (13th instance) to score in three straight appearances, with all of those appearances coming as a substitute.
Kei Kamara assisted on both of CF Montréal’s goals in its 2-1 win over Seattle on Wednesday. It was Kamara’s fifth multi-assist game in MLS and his first since July 2015 against the Red Bulls.
