“I thought for 70-plus minutes we by in large were in great control of the game,” Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. “Like we’ve had over the course of the season, we had a lot of really good opportunities to take the game to 2-0. Looks on goal, attacks that have the right numbers, opportunities to create separation. We don’t and then we don’t manage the game and I put myself in that too, we don’t manage the final 15 or so minutes.
