The LA Galaxy secured a convincing 2-0 win against the Vancouver Whitecaps on July 4, 2025, at Dignity Health Sports Park. The Whitecaps were not at full strength for this match, missing several key players[5]. With this victory, the Galaxy extended their unbeaten home streak against Vancouver to five matches, a run that started back in October 2020[1].
The Galaxy’s control was evident throughout the game, dominating with 61% possession and outshooting Vancouver 5-1 (shots on target: 4-0)[6]. The scoring opened early as Nascimento found the net in the 2nd minute, setting the tone for the night[6]. Despite Vancouver’s efforts, they struggled to create chances and failed to register a single shot on target[6].
In terms of lineup, goalkeeper Novak Mićović made his 10th start of the season, while Emiro Garcés and Maya Yoshida, who captained the side, anchored the defense. Midfielder Edwin Cerrillo marked his 150th MLS regular season appearance, and Diego Fagundez continued to be a creative force in midfield[3].
After this result, the Galaxy now leads the all-time series with 17 wins, 13 losses, and 7 draws across all competitions. In regular-season play at home, LA boasts an 11-4-3 record against the Whitecaps[1]. The last five meetings at Dignity Health Sports Park have not featured a draw[2].
