00:02to play a more center forward position tonight we'll see how it shakes out this
00:07is how they line up although we're accustomed to seeing Marco Royce as a
00:11false nine as Zhao Klaus continues to rehab from injury was back in 2002 Chris
00:17Wondolowski had the deciding goal in a 4-3 San Jose win let's see what the
00:23teams serve up tonight we're glad you're with us on Apple TV Steve Cangellosi
00:29Danny Higginbotham Andrew Wiebe is pitch side the galaxy in the white see this
00:36ball deflect out for an early throw they are the only six-time MLS Cup champions
00:42the gold standard of MLS teams since the league's exception LA but this isn't the
00:48way they envisioned coming out of the World Cup break consecutive home defeats
00:53coming into this road game tonight and what I find really interesting about this
00:58game and fascinating as well neither team has a recognized center forward on the
01:01field you know you look at LA Galaxy you've got pain sill and for the San Jose's
01:06Buddha two plays that love to stretch the game two plays that will believe they can
01:10get him behind the opposition back force the center backs are gonna have to be
01:13really switched on Nick Fernandez able to pick this up and send San Jose on the
01:19front foot they crawl it across Werner in the danger area off the head of Buddha and
01:24off the top of the netting that gets everybody's attention coming back credit to
01:28Marcinkowski here LA Galaxy just getting caught out the midfield the defense two
01:33separated and then the ball comes in Werner looks like he's in an onside
01:36position gonna have a simple tap in five seasons with the quakes he understands
01:41very well what this rivalry means to both sides played back by Jamar Ricketts Reed
01:49Roberts Daniel Muni Benji Kakanovich the back four in a recurring role from the
01:56last game here comes Joseph Paintsil bearing down for the galaxy and Paintsil no
02:03they'll work this ball ahead Buddha finds a second gear plays it across scan with a
02:10shot stop was made Marcinkowski there you've seen that both teams are at their
02:15best on the counter-attack hack he has to go out further to that left-hand side
02:18because Audi's out of position then it ends up being a great save from
02:22Marcinkowski put a wonderful opportunity to scale in but he's not able to find the
02:26back of the net LaRue
02:31Werner again blocked away by Cerio out for a corner this time from the near
02:36side LA Galaxy masters of their own downfall and trying to play out from the
02:41back you're gonna play out from the back against the San Jose team you have to be
02:45so sure of where the passes are gone because they press in great numbers and
02:49with great intensity
02:53Timo Werner once again this time on the in swinger signal from their
02:5830 year old designated player whips this ball in falls at the top of the box
03:05Gonzalez trying to get on it instead Galaxy are off to the races this is
03:10Harbor Miller has options plays centrally Royce works it ahead Paintsil again this time the
03:16finish Joseph Paintsil giving the LA Galaxy a 1-0 lead that time dead on
03:24target and the visitors strike first at Stanford stadium a counter-attack it's an incredible
03:32counter-attack all the front three are involved Miller he's the one that starts it and then this is
03:36brilliant from Royce just plays it through the defenders legs and Paintsil playing on the shoulder the last defender once
03:41again
03:42he was finally gonna get the opportunity
03:44where he could give LA Galaxy the lead first opportunity he didn't second one makes
03:50absolutely no mistake puts it through gun posted puts it past gun and LA Galaxy have the lead that they
03:56so so desired
04:01four of those five wins keep in mind come from behind victories
04:06there's a little bit of magic in the place for them LaRue looking to act on that
04:10turn lost possession here come the Galaxy again on the counter Paintsil couldn't take it cleanly
04:16it was an opportunity because what he's doing when Galaxy are defending he's going wide he's going into the wide
04:22position center backs don't
04:24don't don't intentionally like to go into those areas what a touch by Werner trying to beat Mickey Yamane
04:31settled by LA Yoshida harassed by Buddha who takes it away now LaRue trying to fend off Royce at the
04:42top of the box gets the
04:43crowd's attention we play on and Paintsil holding this up for the Galaxy
04:53Wondered about Marco Royce another giveaway
04:55Werner with another gift see what he does with this time Timo Werner gives it a go
05:00sent Marcinkowski diving but missed the target
05:04San Jose getting opportunities from due to sloppy play from LA Galaxy in their own half
05:10Timo Werner drifts inside just can't hit the target just goes wide at the post
05:14LA Galaxy in particular when they play here no changes for the sides to start the
05:21second half Marco Royce gets us started and the second half of play begins
05:29it's a Galaxy team a year ago that allowed 66 goals only sporting Kansas City
05:37Ansel in quickly for Royce broken up by the quakes and here
05:41they come Timo Werner takes this into the 18 Werner with a shot that's parried away the
05:46follow-up goes wide and Humane's waiting for that but because he's now out of position the ball then
05:52goes to Timo Werner and he finds himself a really good opportunity could save the near post from
05:57Marcinkowski but the follow-up Timo Werner not able to keep not able to keep on target but from LA
06:02Galaxy's perspective you've got
06:03the throw in
06:12this ball whipped across headed and a save babe Marcinkowski is there again
06:24Kekanovic getting up for that it's a great run as well from Kekanovic just getting in front of
06:28his marker pumped well enough though from Marcinkowski
06:34San Jose starting to knock on the door early stages of this half
06:39if you're him what you aim to do you aim to go towards that far post and the goalkeeper doesn't
06:42know whether to stick or twist because the ball could be coming at him but he doesn't know whether to
06:46move
06:47because it could be a slight touch from an attacker that's looking to get that final touch on it
06:52signal by Werner his team trailing most of the night that takes an affliction
06:57off the crossbar still alive ball loose and it's in the finish at the near post we are level at
07:05one
07:06jack skin to get this game level
07:13well the initial free kick cause problems within itself hits the crossbar and then it just ends up
07:18finding its way to the far post and it's the centre back Roberts that puts the finishing touches puts it
07:23into the back of the net and it's a wonderful ball in LA Galaxy aren't able to clear the danger
07:28and then Roberts in the right place at the right time he puts the finishing touch on it
07:32and San Jose have been asking the questions and they finally got their reward from a centre back
07:37at the far post and I'm sure VAR they'll take a look what's there potentially an offside
07:45when the ball was put in interesting to see from this one
07:58in the back of the ball
07:59why do to work this ahead here's Miller
08:03Royce able to leave this beautifully the build up here pencil with a shot he rang it off the post
08:11really good attacking watch this from Royce this is when you talk about a player
08:15having eyes in the back of his head and then the ball eventually goes to paint it's not the greatest
08:19that falls to him I think it's a situation where he wants to be able to history of this league
08:23it's
08:23quite fascinating at times as this takes a deflection for Royce plays it ahead pencil
08:29running like it's early in the match Joseph pencil saved by gun his biggest moment since his arrival with
08:36the club absolutely magnificent I can tell you one thing Miller and Royce they are absolutely fuming
08:43Miller Mall so because he's in so much space but if you're paint so you get yourself a yard which
08:48he does and he thinks he's found the top corner but what a save that is from gun
08:53Marcinkowski out goalkeeper plays it well Marcinkowski swipes at it able to navigate the box and play this
09:02away well done by the keeper it's brilliant from Marcinkowski we've said all game that he's not afraid to be
09:08active because you look at it and it's trouble here verna against shishida there's only going to be
09:13one winner in that foot race but he just comes out really quick and there's a presence of mind to
09:18get
09:18out for the second one as well gets his hand to it just before it goes out the box and
09:22then clears the
09:22danger about 90 seconds to go at stanford stadium kakanovich larue looks at goal plays it ahead
09:31buda with a touch penalty tripped up by marsinkowski referee's going to point to the spot no complaints
09:39whatsoever buda going right to the final whistle and gets his team verner for the win timo verner saved
09:51by marsinkowski follow-up try kakanovich live ball in the box it's defended away and cleared out
10:00it's a wonderful save as well for marsinkowski guess is the right way not the greatest of penalties
10:06the marsinkowski redeems himself had a really good game made some big saves that's the biggest of them all
10:13huge amount of players kakanovich and paints will get yellow cards in that exchange this might be
10:19the final kick of the game verner sends this in towards the near post defend it away there won't
10:26be any more soccer that's going to be it
