An early goal from veteran Laurent Courtois was the difference as the LA
Galaxy defeated Isidro Metapan 1-0 in a CONCACAF Champions League Group
8 matchup.
Courtois' seventh-minute goal was created by Jose
Villarreal. The 20-year-old worked his way into the Metapan box from the
left, made a move to wrong-foot a defender, and picked out Courtois
with a cutback pass. Courtois took his goal well to beat Metapan
goalkeeper Henry HErnandez, who had a good night to keep the score at
just one.
The win keeps LA perfect in the CCL group stage with a
2-0-0 record and not a single goal allowed, good enough to put the
American side in first place in Group 8.
The Galaxy's next CCL
matchup is away to Costa Rican side Cartagines on September 25. Los
Angeles previously defeated Cartagines 2-0 at the StubHub Center on
August 20, with Robbie Keane socring twice.
