13th minute: Tie game, after Diego Rossi scores a penalty for LAFC. Game is fully on here.

5th minute: GOOOOOOOOL Galaxy! An LA buildup is turned into the net by Latif Blessing. Good start for the Galaxy!

Lineups:

The big news for LA is Chicharito is out. Yep, you heard that right. There’s several other changes, too.

LAFC go with the same lineup they had in their last game, minus a change in goal, to Pablo Sisniega.

Here it is, El Trafico day. The LA Galaxy will take on their noisy neighbors, Los Angeles Football Club, in the marquee game Saturday night in the MLS is Back Tournament bubble.

This one is going to look different. Not only is it in Orlando, behind closed doors, but neither Zlatan Ibrahimovic nor Carlos Vela will be in this game. LA have Chicharito now, however, coming off his debut goal. Will he be the next LAFC killer?

Aside from the rivalry aspect of this game, the Galaxy could really use a win, not only for their tournament prospects but for the season overall. They haven’t won a competitive game in 2020 yet and this is the second of three group-stage games, so a win would be a big boost for their prospects of qualifying to the knockout stage and to get their season on track.

But yes, there’s the rivalry side, too. Want the bragging rights? Simple: Pick up three points and the mental edge remains with the Galaxy.
