In the second half the LA Galaxy discounted with Jonathan Do Santos scoring at 59:57 minute, after receiving a pass from Boateng and getting in front of NYC F.C. goalkeeper Sean Johnson but it was not enough to overcome the final victory of NYC F.C. 2-1 over the LA Galaxy. " I'm really happy & pleased to win the game because it was against a tough team and tough opponent " said NYC F.C. head coach Patrick Vieira after the game.
