MLS Review: Galaxy lose without Ibrahimovic, Minnesota win again

LA Galaxy suffered their first loss of the MLS season, while Minnesota United maintained their perfect start on Saturday.

Without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was sidelined due to an Achilles injury, Galaxy went down to Dallas 2-0 in Texas.

Reto Ziegler’s 53rd-minute penalty gave Dallas the lead and their win was sealed by Bryan Acosta, who struck from 20 yards.

Strugglers last season, Minnesota made it two from two courtesy of a 3-0 victory at the San Jose Earthquakes.

A Darwin Quintero penalty, Miguel Ibarra strike and Harold Cummings own goal lifted Adrian Heath’s men to their win.
