Negative aspect 3: Lack of ball possession

The Galaxy had very little possession throughout the match, with only 37% of the ball. This low possession rate indicates a need for improvement in controlling games and dictating the tempo, which could be crucial in future matches.

While there were positive signs in individual performances and attacking prowess, the Galaxy's inability to secure a win despite their dominance on the field underscores the need for improvement in defensive stability and ball retention. As the season progresses, addressing these areas will be crucial for the Galaxy to achieve their goals and compete at the highest level in MLS.
