LA Galaxy vs Orlando City Preview

LA Galaxy’s path to the final was cut short on Thursday by Seattle Sounders, who prevailed in their semi-final clash, 2-0. Argentine winger Pedro de la Vega and Osaze De Rosario netted one effort each, with no concrete reaction from LA Galaxy until full-time. There is still something to fight for ahead of the final.

Los Galácticos were among the top favourites for the 2025 Leagues Cup, being the number one representative of Major League Soccer in this edition. They won the MLS Cup last year – their sixth title – and were expected to replicate their brilliance in the Leagues Cup. LA Galaxy currently sit bottom of the MLS overall table on 19 points.

Orlando City were bashed 3-1 in the semi-finals by a Lionel Messi-inspired Inter Miami, who won the Leagues Cup in 2023. The Argentine legend scored twice to book his side a place in the final for the second time. Marco Pasalic scored one goal for Orlando City, but it wasn’t enough to rescue his side, who will now focus on the third-place match.

The Lions are doing better than LA Galaxy in the 2025 MLS, having won 13 matches out of 28, drawing eight and losing seven. They sit fifth in the Eastern Conference table and eighth overall on 47 points.
