LA Galaxy vs. Sounders live stream: Kickoff, lineups, updates

On By Littum

LINEUPS: Nathan and Georgi Minoungou get rare starts as the Sounders move back to a 4-2-3-1 formation for their Western Conference final against the LA Galaxy. Yeimar Gomez Andrade was deemed fit enough to make the bench. The most notable element of the Galaxy lineup is Marco Reus getting going.

The Seattle Sounders can earn the right to host the MLS Cup by beating the LA Galaxy in the Western Conference final today. It will not be an easy task. The Galaxy cruised through the first two rounds of the playoffs, winning their three games by a combined score of 15-3. They are also 16-0-4 across all competitions at Dignity Health Sports Park this season.

Making the task just a bit more difficult, the Sounders will be a little short-handed as Paul Rothrock has been ruled out for the season and Yeimar Gomez-Andrade is questionable for this game. However, Nouhou, after missing the previous match, seems to be back.

Galaxy is pretty much at full strength.

  • This is the fifth time the Sounders have met the Galaxy in the MLS Playoffs, but the first time since 2015. It is also the third time they have played in the conference finals. The Sounders have won just one of the previous four meetings.
  • Jordan Morris’ goal against LAFC was his ninth career playoff goal, tying him with teammate Raúl Ruidíaz for the most among active players.
  • It will be the fourth time the Sounders have played the Galaxy in all competitions this year. The Sounders are 1-1-1.
  • The Sounders have now advanced to the conference finals seven times since joining MLS in 2009. Only five teams have made it that many times.
