Los Angeles Galaxy hold on as Reus and Taylor sink Revolution
Los Angeles Galaxy beat New England Revolution 2-1 at Dignity Health Sports Park in a Major League Soccer Regular Season fixture, ending a run of poor domestic form with a first-half display that put the contest beyond reach before a late scare.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Marco Reus opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 11th minute, and Robert Taylor doubled the advantage in the 33rd minute after being set up by Hirving Lozano, sending Galaxy in at half-time 2-0 up. New England could not find a way back until the very end, when Carles Gil converted a stoppage-time penalty in the 90+6th minute to make it 2-1, but there was no time left for a leveller.
Despite conceding 24 shots to Los Angeles Galaxy's eight, New England held more of the ball and pushed numbers forward for long spells, yet were undone by clinical finishing either side of the interval. The home side made their territorial disadvantage count, converting two of their limited openings while their opponents' pressure yielded only a late consolation.
Marco Reus scored the opening penalty and finished with a rating of 7.9, the highest of any player on the pitch, underlining his influence at both ends of a game his side controlled early.
New England had 52% of possession and still trailed 2-0 at the break, a reminder that territorial dominance did not translate into control of the scoreline.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Los Angeles Galaxy 39%, the draw 31%, New England Revolution 30%. It finished Los Angeles Galaxy 2–1 New England Revolution.
Home ground outweighs New England Revolution's rating edge — New England Revolution are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Major League Soccer home advantage gives Los Angeles Galaxy the lean. The draw at 31% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Los Angeles Galaxy at 39%?
Home ground, against the rating. New England Revolution sit 60 points higher on our strength rating — 1477 to 1537. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 33.0% of 10,581 such games. Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.8% vs 30.2%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.4% of 5,132 games vs 44.9% across all 99,727 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 39%?
Because New England Revolution are the stronger side on our strength rating. New England Revolution hold 8 more possession points (55 to 47 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 40.2% across 5,567 games, from 44.0% when styles were level.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the New England Revolution win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,731. The goals environment adds 1.5 points to the draw. The control factor adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Los Angeles Galaxy sit -0.42 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0. Los Angeles Galaxy are missing their first-choice keeper and 2 more regular starters — Marco Reus, Lucas Sanabria, James Marcinkowski — about 28% of their usual starting-XI weight. Our measured receipt covers one-sided absences only, and the picture here isn't one-sided — both squads are short. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
