For a brewing rivalry that’s already competing for bragging rights and the hearts of all of Los Angeles, the much-anticipated first meeting between the LA Galaxy and newcomer Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) will be a high-profile affair with as much star power as shines in Hollywood. With just 10 miles separating the clubs, tensions are already high for this budding rivalry where fans have already begun the sparring off the field ahead of Saturday afternoon’s contest at StubHub Center on national television (3 p.m. ET, FOX, FOX Deportes).

Trio from Mexican National Team taking opposing sides
Three staples of the Mexican National Team will put their country’s allegiance to the side, when LAFC’s Carlos Vela challenges his countrymen Giovani and Jonathan dos Santos of the LA Galaxy. With Vela in pristine form and both dos Santos brothers potentially returning from injury, these friends becoming fast foes will make for a spectacular head-to-head spectacle.
  • All have been mainstays for El Tri since 2009, with Gio dos Santos’ and Vela’s first caps dating back to 2007.
  • Vela has a goal and two assists in LAFC’s first two outings – both wins – this MLS season.
  • Jona dos Santos has a goal and an assist, contributing to two of the Galaxy’s three total goals in 2018.
