Los Angeles – The Los Angeles <\/span>Galaxy won 2-1 at home<\/span><\/a> against Toronto FC on Saturday night in their final preseason match before the 2023 MLS campaign starts. Two individual moments of brilliance from midfielders Efra\u00edn \u00c1lvarez and Marky Delgado spurred LA\u2019s victory, with \u00c1lvarez, in particular, having an encouraging game. The young Mexican international said in an LA Galaxy post-match presser, that this needs to be his \u201cbreakout\u201d year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although there were positives on the night for the Galaxy, like \u00c1lvarez\u2019s performance and the continuing development of Center back Jalen Neal, they are a <\/span>club still mired in distraction and instability, on and off the field<\/span><\/a>. The roster as is, still has holes, while the empty seats on display in one of MLS and Apple\u2019s first televised games on MLS Season Pass, were certainly seen nationwide. With just six days before the Galaxy take on their city rivals at the famed Rose Bowl on February 25, it\u2019ll be a race against time for the most decorated club in league history to stabilize.<\/span><\/p>\n
