CARSON — The Galaxy’s Fourth of July meeting with the Vancouver Whitecaps had a much quieter tone Friday.

In the first Galaxy home game since the start of last month’s immigration raids, the club’s supporter groups had their first chance to show their support for the people and community, and displeasure with the Galaxy.

Gone were the usual chants and singing that have come to symbolize a Galaxy home game.

Members of the Angel City Brigade and Galaxians walked out in the 12th minute, in protest of the club’s decision to not issue a statement regarding the raids.

Before the game, the groups in the Victoria Block unfurled a Tifo of the United States with images of armed forces members with the words “Fight ignorance, not immigrants.”

On the other side of the stands, the L.A. Riot Squad held a sign that read: “We like our whiskey neat and our land and people free.” The Riot Squad were silent for the duration.

On the field, the Galaxy (2-13-6, 12 points), facing a critical month of July, got a goal from Matheus Nascimento early and a pair of second-half goals from Joseph Paintsil to put away the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0 in front of 19,557 at Dignity Health Sports Park.

The Whitecaps entered the week in second place in the Western Conference.

Nascimento gave the Galaxy the perfect start, knocking home a rebound in the second minute. Edwin Cerrillo’s shot was spilled by Vancouver keeper Yohei Takaoka, right in Nascimento’s path.

In the 60th minute, Paintsil, who had struggled all season, finished off a sequence that started with Gabriel Pec and then Marco Reus. Reus’ final pass, left Paintsil with some work to be done, but he went far to Takaoka’s left for the 2-0 lead.

Paintsil later converted a penalty kick, that defender Maya Yoshida earned by getting fouled.
