Joseph Paintsil scores twice as Galaxy beat Whitecaps amid supporter protest

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 05 – Joseph Paintsil scored his first multi-goal game as LA Galaxy ended a three-match winless run with a 3-0 victory over the second-place Vancouver Whitecaps, improving their season record.

  • On Friday night at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, the LA Galaxy ended a three-game winless stretch with a 3-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps.
  • The Galaxy entered the match holding the lowest point total in MLS at 13, while Vancouver ranked just behind San Diego at the top of the Western Conference standings with 38 points but had recently dropped three of their last four games.
  • Matheus Nascimento opened the scoring early by finishing a rebound in the second minute, and Joseph Paintsil secured his first multi-goal performance of his career by adding two goals in the second half, including a penalty conversion in the 77th minute.
  • The Galaxy held 55% possession, outshot Vancouver 12-6 with eight shots on target to one, while Whitecaps' absences, including Andres Cubas and Ralph Priso, hindered their ability to handle Galaxy transitions.
  • Supporters protested the club's silence on recent raids by walking out in the 12th minute and displaying a Tifo reading "Fight ignorance, not immigrants," while the Riot Squad remained silent throughout the match.
