CARSON — The winless saga continues.

By now, the Galaxy’s 2025 season is following a similar script. Decent for moments, but unable to fully capitalize on scoring chances, but the opposition does and the game ends.

Wednesday night, the opponent was the San Jose Earthquakes. The result was a 1-0 Galaxy loss, extending the winless streak to 16 games (0-12-4) in front of 15,345 at Dignity Health Sports Park.

The Galaxy supporters let the club know they’re not happy, chanting “We want better.”

The Galaxy did have one final chance, late into stoppage time, but Maya Yoshida’s header off of a corner attempt hit the crossbar and was eventually cleared.

San Jose broke through on the scoreboard in the 74th minute on a goal by Ousseni Bouda. Bouda, a second-half sub, got in between the Galaxy’s Miki Yamane and Zanka for a sliding finish.

The Galaxy entered with a lot of success recently against their Northern California rival. The Galaxy had a 6-0-1 record in the last seven meetings, including four consecutive wins. The game was the first with Bruce Arena on the other side of the California Clasico. Arena, who coached the Galaxy from 2008-16, took over as coach of the Earthquakes this season.

His first game back into Carson as an opponent of the Galaxy was actually his first game in charge of the New England Revolution back in 2019. The Revolution defeated the Galaxy that game, 2-1.

The Galaxy nearly had the opener, but a goal by Matheus Nascimento was disallowed due to him being offside in the build-up of the play. Nascimento was making his first start with the Galaxy. Since arriving from Brazil, he’s only been used sparingly, coming on as a late second-half sub.

The game started with the Galaxy having a lively start, especially with Joseph Paintsil bombing down the left wing, but nothing materialized on the scoreboard.

“The guys come out and they fight and they work and they compete and inside of that, you look at the opposition and you go, they’re not better than us,” Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. “It comes down to execution. The amount of open three versus two, four verses three, the breaks that we have with space with our best players, that we squandered over the course of the night. That is tonight.

“Yes, we gave away a goal, but it’s the sheer number of man-up rushes, if you will, or transitions or attacks that we have, that we squander over the course of the night. That becomes the difference in the game.”

The Galaxy’s only win so far this season came in the round of 16 in the CONCACAF Champions Cup in March against CS Herediano.
