Charlotte looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while 3rd placed LA Galaxy is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against New York City. Javier Hernández struck first for LA Galaxy in the 90th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, New York City was frustrated by LA Galaxy’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board.
