3 things we learned in LA Galaxy's 3-1 victory over FC Dallas
By Scott Conrad
2. Galaxy Offense scores multiple goals in second half, again!
The Galaxy offense appears to have found their pulse. In the last four halves of play, they have scored at least once. Scoring in bunches helps bail out a team's defense and their goalie.
In eight different games this year, the Los Angeles Galaxy have scored multiple goals in a half before. Six of those eight it happened in the second half.
The other two instances came in the first half. Both such occurrences were against San Jose. In those eight games, the Galaxy have not lost as they have gone 4-4-0 in such contests.
Dejan Joveljic and Ricard Puig both netted a goal for the Galaxy in the second of against Dallas. It was the second one for Joveljic on the evening. In addition, Puig has now scored a goal in back-to-back games.
Joveljic is tied for fifth in the league with nine goals on the season. Puig, who has five goals himself, is tied for fifth in assists with eight on the year.
These two have been supported by strong offense efforts from teammates Gabriel Pec, Joseph Paintsil and Marky Delgado. Both Pec and Paintsil have four goals each.
Painstil has five assists for the Galaxy and Pec has four himself. While Delgado only has one goal on the season, he has recorded six assists.
