The Galaxy have now gone six games without losing after winning 2-1 against LAFC in front of MLS record crowd, defeating Real Salt Lake and drawing four straight games before last weekend's victory extended their winning streak.
The five-time MLS Cup winner LA Galaxy, however, have a lot of work to do if they want to make the playoffs as they only managed to win two of their first 14 MLS matches this season, registering three draws and nine losses in the process.
The Philadelphia Union appeared destined to retain their Eastern Conference title when they went on a nine-game unbeaten stretch between April and June, winning seven games and drawing two.
Since then, though, the Union have had difficulty maintaining consistency, registering one win, one draw, and two losses. They have especially struggled recently on the road, picking up just one point from their past three away games.
Despite this, Philadelphia has won 10 of its 20 league games this season and is still five points outside the top seven in the Eastern Conference and 15 points ahead of LA Galaxy overall.
