5. Reaction capacity

Well, what better way to end than with a positive conclusion for this team. Yes, nerves play a role when it comes to the biggest club in the MLS, but that status of greatness is the same thing that gives the LA Galaxy an impressive ability to react and reverse complicated contexts.

After trailing 0-2, the Galacticos returned to the field after the first half with a completely different mentality. The mood evidently rose after Riqui Puig's goal (53'), but it remained the same until the end, even after the second goal courtesy of Billy Sharp (82').

It is true that this ability to manage adversity was not enough, on this occasion, to seal the victory. But the LA Galaxy must recognize this strength and find a way to maintain that mindset throughout the game.
