Los Angeles, Calif. -- As far as moral victories go, the LA Galaxy can hold their heads up proudly for earning a 1-1 draw against the surging Vancouver Whitecaps at home on Saturday, May 2, 2026. But as far as individual matches go, the Galaxy will be disappointed not to get three points against last year’s MLS Cup finalists after leading until late in the game.

Teenager Zavier Gozo and Diego Luna scored first-half goals and Rafael Cabral posted his first clean sheet of the season to lead Real Salt Lake to a 2-0 victory over the Portland Timbers on Saturday. Gozo, 19, gave Real Salt Lake (6-3-1) the lead in the 10th minute, and Luna, bidding for a spot on the U.S. World Cup roster, scored his third goal in five matches eight minutes later for a two-goal advantage. Defender Juan Manuel Sanabria had assists to set up Luna , who had his season debut delayed until March 14 by a knee injury, and Gozo.
