STARTING XI
11 - Mehdi Ballouchy
His performance was just as bad as his other start in RSL. Was a step behind the Galaxy players all game long.
10 - Steven Beitashour
Got caught calling for an offside on the first goal. He was out of position and hoping the assistant referee would bail him out. He needs to step up his game.
9 - Sebastian Fernandez
Was invisible the first half before he got subbed off for Mauro Rosales. Once Rosales gets more comfortable in a Caps kit the minutes for Fernandez might get more and more slim.
8 - Darren Mattocks
After the second goal he just appeared to have given up trying. He had his hands on his hips and didn't run at the defence. You can see the frustration from the beginning of the season coming back.
7 - Andy O'Brien
Overall an average game. Confusion in the box led to both Galaxy goals. With the Johnny Leveron red card he may get the start with Kendall Waston next week.
6 - Russell Teibert
Did not play up to his potential. Struggled with his partnership with Ballouchy. They had tough shoes to fill covering for Gershon Koffie and Matias Laba.
5 - Pedro Morales
Was getting frustrated in the first half with lack of skill of his strikers Mattocks and Kekuta Manneh. How many great passes has he made this season just to have the ball turned over by his strikers? Played well off Mauro Rosales in the second half. Also made a great goal-line save off a corner to save a goal.
4 - Johnny Leveron
Played a solid game. He stepped up nicely when he needed too. I believe he got screwed by getting a straight red on his challenge. May get rescinded by MLS but really who knows with them?
3 - Kekuta Manneh
Was the only striker that looked like he cared and showed pace. The problem was him leaving his head down while running at defenders. The time he did look up he almost set up Mattocks in the box. Love the heart but needs a new move.
2 - Jordan Harvey
A very good game for Harvey. After being a scapegoat in beginning of season for always being out of position he has been playing well of late.
1 - David Ousted
Without Ousted the game could have been four or five nothing. Had no chance on either goal and was left out to dry by Beitashour.
SUPERSUBS
3 - Erik Hurtado
Didn't do anything to stand out on the pitch. Has lost all of his offensive touch from earlier in the season.
2 - Mauro Rosales
Brought in the offensive spark that the team was lacking in the first half. Linked up well with Morales on the wing. Hopefully with some practices under his belt it only gets better.
1 - Kendall Waston
Provided an offensive spark in his 11 minutes of play. Almost set up a goal with his back to the keeper. Took a silly yellow but I will take that with the effort he showed on the pitch.
