This Saturday, on March 30th, the LA Galaxy faced off against the Seattle Sounders at Dignity Health Sports Park for Matchday 6 of the 2024 MLS season. The Galaxy clinched a 1-0 victory, extending their unbeaten streak.
The MLS dedicated a full article on their official website to the young players who stood out in the latest round of the championship. And the cover of the article features none other than Julián Aude, the 21-year-old left-back for the Galaxy.
"When’s the last time we saw the Galaxy post a clean sheet, let alone as part of a confident, relatively straightforward victory like Saturday’s waterlogged 1-0 win over the Seattle Sounders? You have to rewind all the way past Labor Day of last year on both counts, that’s how porous the Gs' defense has been," reads the MLS official website.

"Aude completed 35 out of 43 passes against the Sounders, with one key pass, six clearances, 3 out of 5 tackles successfully completed, 4 out of 6 ground duels won, and 11 defensive actions overall. At age 21, he’s just turning up and handling his biz with steadily increasing reliability from week to week," they concluded.
