Cup progress for LA Galaxy
A 3‑1 win over FC Dallas, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Keaton Parks leads the rout of Colorado Rapids
3‑0, and Keaton Parks took the headlines on an afternoon when everything LA Galaxy tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

A brace, and Keaton Parks takes the afternoon — 8.36
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Keaton Parks provided it, and the 8.36 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

David Sargent, 18, steals the show — 7.82
Marked 7.82 at 18, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Up for the corner, and Will Cleary delivers — 7.70
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Will Cleary scored, was marked 7.70, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

LA Galaxy supporters have found a favourite in Henadii Synchuk
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Henadii Synchuk has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

A masterclass from Milan Iloski
Marked 8.47 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
